Abstract
A clasp for a garment such as a bandana is described. The clasp consists of two distinct portions, each of which can be different or identical. Each portion includes three or more passages that allow the ends of a bandana or other garment to be threaded through each. The complementary portions are then connected to each other.

A garment clasp comprising:
- a first substantially planar body having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion and a central portion, the distal and proximal end portions each having a width greater than a width of the central portion, the substantially planar body defining three or more passages therethrough, a first passage at the proximal end portion, a second passage at the distal end portion and a central passage positioned between the first and second passage;
- and
- a second substantially planar body having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion and a central portion, the distal and proximal end portions each having a width greater than a width of the central portion, the second substantially planar body defining three or more passages therethrough, a first passage at the proximal end portion, a second passage at the distal end portion and a central passage positioned between the first and second passage, the width of the central portion of the first body being equal to or less than the width of the first passage in the second body, and wherein the width of the proximal portion of the first body is greater than a width of the first passage in the second body and the proximal portion of the first body can be deformed by the wearer to pass through the first passage in the second body, removably securing the first body to the second body.

A method of securing a garment to a wearer, the method comprising:
- folding a rectangular piece of cloth to produce a substantially right triangle having a 90 degree point, a first 45 degree point and a second 45 degree point;
- threading the first 45 degree point through a first passage in a first planar connector and subsequently through a second passage in the first planar connector;
- threading the second 45 degree point through a first passage in a second planar connector and subsequently through a second passage in the second planar connector;
- and
- connecting the first planar connector to the second planar connector by deforming one end of the first planar connector and passing it through a third passage in the second planar connector.
