1. Lay the furoshiki inside up as a diamond, corner A pointing at you. B points right, C away from you, D left.
2. Stand the pot in the centre of the furoshiki.
3. Lift corners B (right) and C (far) up behind the pot and tie them in a square knot at the back of the rim. Tie once, then tie again crossing the other way; A and D stay on the table in front. You should now see a knot at the back rim and 2 loose corners, A and D, at the front.
4. Bring corners A (near) and D (left) up around the front of the pot and tie them in a square knot at the front of the rim. Pull the furoshiki snug against the pot as you lift, then tie once and tie again crossing the other way. You should now see the pot covered, with a knot at the front and the plant free above.
5. Spread the 2 ends sideways so the knot sits flat on the rim. Close-up of the front knot: 2 ends pointing left and right. You should now see a flat knot across the front of the pot.
