Patchwork blanket scarves: one square, four panels

Each of these squares is split into four quarters, and every quarter carries a different design. Fold one way and you get gold stars; fold another and a leopard or paisley panel comes forward. Colours run from mustard and camel to burgundy, grey and olive.

Most styles measure 140 x 140 cm, the size most people picture when they hear blanket scarf. That's wide enough to tie in a short knot, wrap twice or drape open over a coat.

A square scarf behaves nothing like a long knitted one. It has no loose ends, so the way you fold it sets both the warmth and the pattern on show.

What size is a four-sided patchwork scarf?

Most of them measure 140 x 140 cm, and two styles come in 125 x 135 cm. The fabric changes from one style to the next, which shapes the drape as much as the warmth.

One square, four panels: how it works

The design doesn't run edge to edge. Each quarter carries its own, so a single scarf gives you a quiet side for the office, a star-print side for an evening out, a busy printed side for the weekend and an animal-print side for days when you want something louder. You don't swap anything over. You just fold it differently.

Picking a palette that works with your coat

Start with the coat you wear most. The burgundy, camel and mustard squares warm up beige, brown and tan outerwear. Greys and blacks hold their own against a navy pea coat. Squares with gold trims feel dressier, while a plain quarter turned to the front keeps things low-key on a weekday.

Ways to wear a large square scarf

Folded corner to corner, the scarf makes a triangle that sits flat under a collar and shows one panel clearly. Rolled into a wide band and wound twice, it hides the pattern but doubles the thickness around the neck, which is the version for a raw morning. Left open, a 140 cm square works as a wrap over a jumper or a winter dress, and the panel you place at the front becomes the loudest thing you are wearing.
