Napkin folding

If you’ve always thought that fancy folds in napery were too difficult to attempt, think again. Start off with the simple and elegant pocket design.

Step 1

Fold the napkin in half and in half again, to form a square a quarter the size of the original. Fold the top right corner (A) down so that it meets a point in the centre of the napkin.

Step 2

Fold that folded edge down over on itself in the same direction to meet corner A at the centre of the napkin.

Step 3

Fold the top right corner behind itself to a point halfway between centre point A and C. You should have created two pockets.

Step 4

Fold the left and right sides of the napkin under to make equal thirds, and press flat behind.
