This blog has you covered with 5 creative Keffiyeh tie styles that will elevate your wardrobe. You can turn your classic Keffiyeh scarf into a tote bag. You can also style it as a bandeau top, skiing mask, neck scarf, or a traditional Bedouin look. We have many Kufiya knot ideas to inspire your next outfit.
The Tote Bag
If you own a Keffiyeh or use TikTok, you have probably seen the viral Kufiya tote bag DIY. With this easy Keffiyeh scarf knot, you can turn your scarf into a stylish tote bag in seconds. It’s perfect for carrying your favorite items!
To get started, you’ll need a Classic Keffiyeh. If you don’t have one, explore our wide range of colors and styles—proudly made in our family-owned factory.
Start by folding your keffiyeh into a triangle. Tie the two bottom ends together, making sure they’re roughly the same length. Next, tie the third point of the triangle (the bottom corner) as shown in the top left image.
Once all three ends are secured (like in the top right image), flip the keffiyeh inside out to hide the knots. Finally, turn it upside down. Just like that, you have a unique way to wear your keffiyeh. This clever keffiyeh knot idea is creative and fun.
Bandeau Tube Top
Got an event coming up and need a statement piece? Or maybe it’s a hot summer day, and the laundry’s looking a little… empty? We’ve got you—try the keffiyeh bandeau top.
To start, fold your keffiyeh in half to form a large triangle, with the longest side parallel to your shoulders. Take both ends and tie them firmly behind your back. Bring the excess fabric from the back knot around to the front and tie it securely again. With the triangle’s point facing down, adjust and tuck any extra fabric behind the front knot to style it to your desired height.
Ski Mask Balaclava
For winter sports lovers, the balaclava is an essential part of snow gear. Its main purpose is to keep your face warm, dry, and protected from snowfall.
What makes the balaclava popular among skiers and snowboarders is its breathable material, which prevents goggles from fogging up. That’s why our real keffiyehs are made from high-quality materials. They fit comfortably and let you wear them in creative ways. You can show your heritage and pride while on the slopes.
To start fold your keffiyeh in half to form a triangle. Lay it over your head with the two ends hanging in front and the single point draping down your back.
Take one end and bring it across your face, covering your mouth and resting just below your nose. Wrap it around to the opposite side and tuck it in firmly from behind. Repeat this step with the other end, adjusting for comfort—and just like that, you finish!
Classic Neck Tie
This keffiyeh scarf knot is a classic, simple style that works for any event and pairs effortlessly with any outfit. Its practical and comfortable design keeps you warm while letting you rock your heritage with pride.
First, fold your keffiyeh in half to make a triangle. Then, place it over your shoulders. Both ends should be in front, and the single point should hang down your back.
Cross the two ends to create a simple fold (not a knot), then tie a basic knot to secure it. Adjust the fit to your liking—and just like that, you’ve mastered one of many keffiyeh tie styles.
Classic Bedouin Headwrap Style
This keffiyeh headwrap is worn in the desert for its usefulness. It protects your hair from strong winds and flying sand. It’s also a classic and stylish accessory in desert tourism culture and has gained popularity on social media.
We’ll show you how to tie keffiyeh stylishly, just like the look above. The keffiyeh featured is our identity keffiyeh to replicate the look shop here.
To start, fold your keffiyeh in half to form a large triangle, with the longest side resting on your forehead. Make a simple fold along your forehead.
Then, take the bottom end of the tassels. Bring them from behind your head, across your forehead. Tuck the extra fabric into the fold you made.
Repeat this step with the other end, or for a more relaxed look, drape the second end over your shoulder.
