A neckerchief can bring elegant casualness, solemnity or classic severity to a man's look. This accessory requires a certain amount of knowledge. In order not to look tasteless, it is required to distinguish between the types of scarves and its knots; it will be useful to learn some of the features of the dress code and follow the fashion trends. You can sew a men's scarf with your own hands, and with a little skill it will not be difficult to do this.

Instructions
Step 1
Find the right fabric for your neckerchief. Be sure to try the cut to the touch - it should be pleasant to wear, and at the same time, it should be nice to drape. Traditionally, this accessory is sewn from natural silk; synthetics or fine blended fabrics are also acceptable.
Step 2
Choose the color of the working cloth depending on the type of neckerchief. If you are going to make a foulard (it is also called a "loose tie"), then a printed pattern and bright colors are appropriate here. Ascot and plastron are usually monochromatic, with a more strict style of performance. It is recommended to make a plastron for the groom's suit in the same tone as the bride's dress.
Step 3
Cut out the foulard in the form of a narrow strip of fabric, which can be about 10 cm wide and from 80 cm to a meter long (so that you can drape the accessory around your neck). Make the ends of the part triangular. Draw Plastron and Ascot by analogy, but wider. Leave 1 cm allowances around the edges.
Step 4
Cut the neckerchief first on the adhesive interlining, then transfer the pattern to the base fabric and press the lining on.
Step 5
Draw a dotted line for a cut with a sharpened remnant - on the working canvas, it must be made along an oblique line (an angle of 45 degrees). If you are using silk or other fabric with a slippery surface, then secure the cut with pins when making a pattern.
Step 6
Sew two identical pieces of the cut and make a neat cut. It is recommended to cut the silk with tailor's scissors "zigzag" so that no terry is formed on the edge.
Step 7
Fold the parts of the neckerchief "facing" each other, cut the allowances at the corners and make a connecting seam, leaving one end of the product unstitched.
Step 8
Form horizontal folds in the middle of the neckerchief and secure with an iron and a few hand stitches. This is necessary so that the elegant accessory does not protrude from under the collar and always looks neat.
