Serviette/napkin, Chic Knot

Total Time: 2 mins Preparation Time: 2 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 paper, serviette (large)
• 1 cloth, serviette (large)

Recipe

• 1 lay your serviette out before you in a square shape.
• 2 take the bottom left and bottom right corners and fold them up to meet the top left and top right corners.you should have before you a rectangle with a crease at the bottom.
• 3 take the bottom left and bottom right corners and fold them halfway up the serviette, so that it meets the horizontal centre line in the middle if the rectangle.
• 4 bring the top let and right corners to the center as well, and now you should have before you a long thin rectangle with a horizontal gap running across it.
• 5 carefully fold this strip in half ( lengthwise) again, so that it it is now a very narrow strip.
• 6 place your finger slightly off center at the top of the strip and take the right edge of the strip with your other hand and fold it downwards so that a short centre line is created in the middle of the strip and the rest hangs down below.
• 7 now take the left edge and turn it backwards and down underneath itself so that the two ends are parallel at the bottom.
• 8 now take the left end again and twist it under itself again so that the loose flap points out in the opposite direction of the first flap. i found that a little loosening of the knot was necessary and a small amount of rearrangement needed so that both ends of the serviette were more or less the same length.
• 9 this produces a very chic knot, great for both formal and informal settings.
