Except I couldn't figure out how to make the braiding frame the edge of the scarf without some complex series of cuts and some kind of french braiding technique. I don't have any fabric up here to experiment with, so I had to put it aside.
But then I noticed while perusing Seven New York's wares, that they have a version of the scarf available which is essentially just a triangle with the ends braided, so DIY plan back in the works.
The question remains, what fabric to use? I like the idea of some kind of raw silk, but obviously that wouldn't do much to keep me warm. In any event, I'm tempted to use a cream color so that it looks very skeletal like that first photo.
Just so you know, silk is light weight and really warm, warmer than cotton, and may even be comparable to wool of the same weight, but as a DIY try with some cheap fabric first and it looks like, the second one at least, is made of a knit fabric so a medium weight jersey knit cotton looks like it would work well.
