' ..... This scarf for outdoor sports, which comes to us from Sweden, is decidedly a novelty for its simplicity and general usefulness. The fact that it is worn close-fitting and out of the way, while being merely a straight scarf in the making, is not the least of its charms....... The scarf is made absolutely straight, in plain garter stitch. To don the scarf, the centre of the length is placed around the waist in front, with the width well spread out and extending somewhat below the waistline. Then the ends are carried under the arms and crossed at the centre of the back, brought over the shoulders and beneath the centre of the scarf in front; the whole pulled as closely to the figure as possible. ' (1908)
(We are always looking for new ways of wearing our scarves nowadays ..... who will be the first to try this?)
That looks quite good actually... I have seen something similar here in the beach-wraps line... sarong-type things that you can also wrap around in a similar way to above, to become a sort of dress...
