Abstract
Abstract An adjustable scarf in which a blank piece of scarf material has parallel side edges and a V-shaped cut at one end and a hem at the other end, the material being folded along a median line paralleling the two side edges so as to align the two inclined edges originally forming the V-shaped cut and bring them into abutting relation for permitting them to be stitched together to form a pointed end, the hem at the other end of the material being threaded onto a split ring so that the hem receives and encircles the ring to form an opening through which the pointed end of the scarf may be threaded through for forming the scarf into an adjustable loop that may encircle the neck or be worn on the head.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
266 words
A scarf comprising: a. an elongated piece of flexible material having ''''two parallel edges extending along the length of said piece of material, one end of said material comprising a straight end edge extending at a right angle with respect to said parallel edges, stitch means securing the edge of a folded over portion of said end edge to form a tubular structure or hem along said width of said end edge, a cut-out formed in said piece of material along the second end opposite said end edge, said cut-out extending from said parallel edges and having an apex located at a point along a longitudinal medial line of said piece of material which extends parallel to said two parallel edges, said piece of material being folded along said medial line and a second line of stitching securing the superposed edges of said second end together, and'''' b. a split ring threaded into said tubular structure along said end edge, the width of the material being greater than the circumference of said ring so that the hem will be bunched on the ring and will encircle the entire ring circumference, the double thickness of material at the pointed end of the scarf giving this pointed end sufficient body so as to aid a person in threading this pointed end through the circular opening provided by the rigid ring, the constricted portion of the scarf enclosed by the ring-shaped end creating sufficient friction with the bunched hem to frictionally hold the scarf in the position into which it has been adjusted around the neck of the wearer.
