Pistil Flower Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay both pocket squares down flat.

Fold the pocket square that creates the outer parts of the flower into a triangle. The center pocket square is folded into a rectangle.

Fold the rectangle again to create the square. Also fold the triangle again in half to create a smaller triangle.

Roll up the square so that the center is visible at the top.

When rolled up all the way take a rubber band.

…and put the rubber band tightly around the bottom part of the roll.

Place the roll into the center of the triangle. About 1-2 inches should stick out.

Fold back one of the corner.

Now also fold back the other corner.

Fold up the bottom tip. Fold up high enough so that the tip is visible.

At last place the pocket square into your breast pocket.

After a couple days in a row of featuring pocket square folds using more than one pocket square, I thought it would be time again for a simple fold using just one single hanky. The so-called “Rose” fold looks fantastic when created with solid white, red, or pink silk pocket squares. I prefer pocket squares that are medium in size of about 11-13 inches squares. Here is how you create this “Rose” fold:

Rose Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay the pocket square down flat.

Fold in all corners so that the tips meet at the center.

Pick up the pocket square by pinching all 4 corners as well as the center of the pocket square at the bottom.

Bunch up the body of the pocket square by squeezing it with your other hand.

Turn the pocket square around so that tie corners are the the bottom.

Roll the pocket square and fold open the petals of the rose.

At last, tug the pocket square into your breast pocket.

A loud and glamorous pocket square fold is the so-called “Bird of Paradise”. It is an eccentric fold that looks fantastic with all silk pocket squares. It requires 2 pocket squares as well as the help of a rubber band. Here is how you create this fold:

Bird of Paradise Fold Step-by-Step:

Lay both pocket squares down flat.

Fold both pocket squares in half to create two rectangles.

Fold both hankies in half again to crwate two equally sized squares.

Now place one pocket square over the other with the open corners all facing the same direction. The bottom pocket square should be visible at that corner.

Fold both squares in half to create a single triangle.

Create a pleat by first folding the top pocket square up, then just one layer of the other pocket square, before folding both back down.

Turn the pocket square around and create the double pleat from the previous step on the other side of the pocket square.

Turn the pocket square vertically and get a rubber band.

Tightly wrap the rubber band around the lower portion of the pocket squares.

Now fan open each of the pocket square leafs.

At last, place the pocket square into your breast pocket and give it some final styling to your liking.
