Fold Directions:
* Begin with two contrasting yet complementary pocket squares of different sizes.
- Lay both pocket squares on a flat surface – smooth out the wrinkles.
- Fold the larger pocket square, corner to corner, to form a triangle.
- Similarly, fold the smaller pocket square to a triangle, slightly offsetting the corners.
- With the base of the smaller triangle at the top, begin to roll one corner inward.
- Continue to roll the same corner all the way across until complete.
- From the top of the roll, extend the cloth out slightly.
- Fold the bottom of the roll upward and pinch at the center to hold in place.
- With an elastic band, wrap together to form a hold.
- Place the rolled base over the top of the larger triangle slightly to the left of the center.
- Fold the triangle in half, enveloping the rolled base.
- Fold one layer of the triangle back across itself so that its point overlaps the edge.
- Flip over the pocket square.
- Fold the other layer of the triangle back across itself to match the other side.
- Fold the bottom corner up so that the point overlaps the top.
- Flip over the pocket square one last time.
- Carefully place the fold into your jacket pocket.
