Wählen Sie für den „New Romatik“ ein Tuch aus einem guten Material, das einen schönen

Faltenwurf besitzt. Er kann zu jeder Gelegenheit und in allen Jahreszeiten, über Mäntel und

Jacken sowie zu Blusen Pullis und Shirts getragen werden.

1. Falten Sie einen ca. 180 - 200 cm langen Schal mittig einmal längs zu Hälfte. Dann wird

er einmal so um den Hals gewickelt, dass die Enden wieder vorn liegen. Ein Ende hängt

herunter.

2. Legen Sie das längere Ende zur Schlaufe, und führen Sie diese unter dem Halsteil

hindurch nach oben. Lassen Sie die Schlaufe dekorativ herunterhängen.

SCHALGÜRTEL

Gürtel aus Stoff passen hervorragend zu leichen Sommerkleidern und -hosen. Können jedoch im

Winter zu dickeren Stoffen genausogut harmonieren. Der Knoten sieht bei beiden Varianten

sowohl am Hals als auch um die Taille sehr dekorativ aus. Sie benötigen einen entsprechend

langen Schal, nicht so breit.

1. Falten Sie den Schal zur Mitte.

2. Anschließend wird der Schal um die Taille oder den Hals gelegt und die Enden versetzt

wie beim Weben durch die Schlaufe gezogen. Es entsteht ein Gittermuster.

3. Jetzt noch beliebig festziehen und in die passende Form bringen.

APRÉS-SKI

Für den lässigen „Aprés-Ski“ benötigen Sie einen langen Schal, der sich mit dieser Bindetechnik

sehr gut zu allen Gelegenheiten tragen lässt. Dann liegt der Schal locker am Kragen.

1. Falten Sie den Schal einmal in der Mitte, und legen Sie ihn locker mit den offenen Enden

links um den Hals.

2. Die so entstandene Schlaufe liegt vorne rechts. Durch sie werden nun die beiden

Schalenden gezogen. Sie können neben- oder übereinander angeordnet werden.

3. Durch vorsichtiges Ziehen an der Halsschlaufe und den Schalenden können Sie

bestimmen, wie eng der Schal am Hals liegt.
