With large squares I fold them in half inside out and tie "bunny ear" knots at the corners. Then you can turn it right side out and run your arms through the holes and make kind of a scarf. Long rectangles I tie around my waist or hips. Then small ones I like to tie around my wrist or sometimes my ankle. I also use them to cover my hair when I didn't get a chance to wash it. Or I do a loose knot around the neck, like a girly necktie almost.

Fold a large square in the bias, until you have a long strip of silk. Place around your neck, and secure with a single knot and a bow. You can pull one side of the bow out, like in the attached pic.

On hot and humid days, you can wear your scarf as a belt. Fold it into a long stripe, and secure with a scarf ring or a double knot.

Slide through a scarf ring, both ends coming from opposite directions (here leaving one end shorter than the other)

Fold into a triangle, place around your neck 'bib style', take the ends behind your neck and bring them back to the front. Secure with a double knot or scarf ring.

Fold your scarf into a triangle and place on your head, long side on your forhead. Take the ends to the back of your head, and secure with a double knot. Place a cap or hat on top, that way the silk won't slip and the headscarf stays securly in place.
