1. Lay the furoshiki inside up as a diamond and set the ball in the centre. Corner A points at you; B is right, C is far (behind the ball), D is left.
2. Tie corners C (far) and D (left) in a square knot above the ball. Tie near the tips so a long loop of fabric runs down to the ball. You should now see one knot above the ball, with A and B still hanging free.
3. Repeat step 2 with corners A (near) and B (right). You should now see 2 knots: one on top and one lower on the front.
4. Pass the A–B knot through the loop under the C–D knot. Push it from front to back through the gap between the C-D knot and the ball, so the 2 loops link. You should now see the A-B knot sitting right under the C-D knot, in the middle of the top.
5. Lift the ball by the top knot to carry it. You should now see the ball hanging in the furoshiki with 2 knots stacked above it as a handle.
