I have found that by braiding two winter scarves together seperating them into three ends hanging down (it will be uneven but no one will notice), that it is much warmer. I secured it with a fancy hair elastic. Even just a rubber band would do.
I have a bunch of winter scarves that seem more to be for decoration than for warmth, since they are so thin. I got tired of no one using them so I braided them for myself. I left the opening big enough to take off over my head without unbraiding it. I hang it on the wall and it is all ready for when I go out.
The first time I wore it I got lots of compliments.
