- Long Bib ~ Tie two opposite ends together and slip over your head. Fluff.
- Shawl Jacket ~ Fold the scarf in a large triangle. Drape around your shoulders and tie the two ends in a small knot behind your back. (it might take some practice) Slip your arms through the newly formed arm holes.

How do you wash a large blanket scarf?
I love my blanket scarves but with anything they need to be washed from time to time. Be sure to follow all manufacture instructions but here are some simple instructions for acrylic blanket scarves.
- Spot clean when possible.
- Hand wash cold, dry flat; or dry clean
- Do not machine wash, it is better not to wash with colorful clothing.
What do you wear with a blanket scarf?
Blanket scarves are a versatile fall and winter accessory that is both beautiful and functional. I love to style my blanket scarves with jeans and tall boots. Also a simple a-line dress in a solid color pairs well with a colorful plaid scarf in complimentary colors.
Blanket scarves took wonderful under leather jackets, pulled up around your face.
Long tunics are complimented with a blanket scarf.
My love of Blanket Scarves as told by Instagram:
Fall is in full effect in my part of the country and that means I am constantly wearing blanket scarves. Last weekend we went to pick pumpkins with the family and I thought it would be fun to style the Mariska Sweater Poncho poncho from @aventuraclothing (shown in heathered grey) with one of my favorite fall colored scarves. The poncho is like a great layering piece that is going to take me well into the winter months. It gives me the fall layered look that I love! I am feeling the low booties but wonder if I should have worn my riding boots. What do you think? #ad #aventura #aventuralife
I might be flooding your feed with my photos of me in a #blanketscarf. But seriously…. I love them. So much. I wear them with a jacket such as this #whitedenim one. Or as a cape. Or fluffed around my neck. So much love for a blanket scarf. Search ‘scarf’ on the link in my profile for 10 easy ways to tie a blanket scarf. I have a video for you!!
I recently did some shopping at @express and fell in love with a mini #shirtdress It has a tie at the waist but my figure does not take well to a tie at the waist 😜 I opted instead to accessorize with one of my favorite #blanketscarf from my ever growing collection. The booties 👢 are @stevemadden (Madden Girl) and they compliment so many of my outfits. My 👜 is a souvenir from out trip to France 🇫🇷 last year. It is #LongChamp. As always I have an arm full of #charmedarms with my @alexandani bangles If you would like to @liketoknow.it tap a ❤ and you will get links to all the items in this post 👉🏼 http://liketk.it/2pyvf Plus a few that I think would be a beautiful alternative to these items if these specific ones aren’t just what you are looking for. #liketkit 💆🏼
I hope you love blanket scarves as much as I do!
