If you are already a fan of the Fleur de Lis Fold as well as the Rabbit Fold, then you will most certainly like this one here. It is a fantastic fold for slightly larger squares made from silk. I prefer to wear this fold with solid colored hankies although any patterned one would certainly work well. Here is how you create this fold:

As the name already suggests, the rabbit fold, looks like you have the bunny rabbit hidden in your breast pocket. But, you don’t have to be a magician to wear this fun fold. It looks fantastic with solid and patterned squares alike. Should it be a bit too eccentric, then you may want to consider the Two Point Puff fold instead. Here are instructions on the rabbit fold.
