Two Knots Wrap

二つ結び futatsu musubi

Use a medium or large furoshiki, at least 68 cm. Knot: Square knot.

1. Lay the furoshiki inside up as a diamond, corner A pointing at you. B points right, C away from you, D left.
2. Lay the box in the centre, its long side running from D to B.
3. Fold corner A (near) over the box, angled toward the left end. Its tip ends up pointing away from you and to the left; C stays flat behind.
4. Fold corner C (far) over the box, angled toward the right end, across A. Its tip now points toward corner B. You should now see A and C crossed on top of the box, with B and D lying flat at the ends.
5. Tie C and B in a square knot on top, near the right end. Tie C to the side corner it points toward; fold B up over the end of the box first. You should now see one knot near the right end, with A and D still loose on the left.
6. Tie A and D the same way near the left end. You should now see the box covered with 2 knots on top, one near each end.
