1. Lay the furoshiki inside up as a diamond, corner A pointing at you. B points right, C away from you, D left.
2. Place the bowl in the centre of the furoshiki.
3. Tuck corner C (far) down into the bowl so it lines the far half. Bring it up the outside of the bowl and over the rim. The bowl sits on the furoshiki, so its outside stays covered too.
4. Tuck corner A (near) into the bowl the same way. You should now see the bowl lined with fabric, with B and D stretched out left and right.
5. Twist corner D (left) into a rope and lift it up the left side.
6. Twist corner B (right) into a rope and lift it up the right side. You should now see 2 twisted ropes rising from either side of the bowl.
7. Tie the tips of B and D in a square knot above the bowl. You should now see a lined bowl with a twisted handle tied at the top.
8. Check the handle close up: 2 twisted ropes tied in a knot at the top. You should now see a flat knot at the top of the handle, with ends pointing left and right.
