1. Lay the furoshiki outside up as a diamond. Corner A points at you; B is right, C is far, D is left.
2. Fold corner A (near) up onto corner C (far) to make a triangle. Line the edges up; the outside of the furoshiki is now on the inside.
3. Tie a single knot in corner B (right), close to its tip. Knot both layers of the corner together. You should now see a firm knot at the right end of the triangle.
4. Repeat step 3 with corner D (left). You should now see a single knot at each end of the triangle.
5. Turn the bag inside out so the knots go inside. Reach in between A and C and push the knotted corners through, as the round arrow shows.
6. Hold corners A and C straight up above the bag. You should now see a teardrop-shaped bag with no knots showing and 2 points on top.
7. Twist corners A and C each into a tight rope. Twist each one the same way, from the bag up to the tip.
8. Tie the tips of A and C in a square knot to make the handle. You should now see a teardrop bag with a twisted rope handle and a flat knot on top.
