Abstract: An apparel accessory (10) is disclosed including a scarf body (12) formed by folding a sheet (20) of fabric to create first and second layers (22, 24) overlying each other and having staggered, free longitudinal edges. First and second, parallel, spaced, longitudinal rows of stitches (26, 28) extend through layers (22, 24) generally intermediate the longitudinal edges of the scarf body (12) and form and define a tunnel (30) for frictionally, slideably receiving a drawstring (16). By pushing the scarf body (12) relative to the drawstring (16), the scarf body (12) can be variably held in a gathered, three dimensional condition on the drawstring (16) for draping on the wearer in a variety of positions and modes. The portions of the drawstring (16) beyond the scarf body (12) in its gathered condition provide tying provisions for the accessory (10) for tying the ends together and/or for tying the ends to the clothing of the wearer.
