SIMPLE SERVIETTE/NAPKIN, POCKET WITH POINTED TOP
Between the teachings of my Grandmother, an Aunt, my Mother and several restaurants I learned a lot about serviette/ napkin folding. Here's a step-by-step instruction on how to make one of the easiest of them all.. Works well with cloth napkins, or larger paper ones. I have included step-by-step photographs to illustrate/suppliment the written directions. I learned this one at the Oasis Restaurant in the small town of Omarama, in New Zealand.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you. Fold it in half horizontally.
- Take the serviette and fold it in half again vertically so that it is now a small square a quarter the size of the origonal square.
- Only one corner of the square will have 4 open / loose edges, rotate your square so that it is a flat diamond shape with the open corner pointing downwards. We will call this the South corner, and the top corner opposite North.
- Take one of the East corners and roll it under towards the middle of the serviette so that you have a roll about 2 inched (5 cm) wide.The other East corner is still laying flat completing the diamond shape behind this.
- Take the remaining East corner and fold it backwards about 1 inch ( 2.5 cm) above the first fold).
- Now fold the pinted sided towards the back, tucking them in and completing the serviette.
- Place on a plate with the smooth front side up.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, FRENCH PLEAT WITH POCKET
My interest in serviette folding was born on a wet day at my Grandmother's house, I was a pre teen and helping her with the ironing and watched while she ironed serviettes into wonderful shapes and neatly stacked them for use. I asked her to show me how and she did. Once you know several folds and people see them, they often have at least one other that you haven't seen before, you gain knowledge of the new one and on it goes. Now that I have already posted all the napkin folds I know, I decided to look on the net for some new ones to learn. This one was called the French Pleat and has the advantage of having a diagonal pocket in the centre into which a name card, small bon bon or bloom can be inserted. This is also an excellent Make in advance Serviette that can be ironed and stacked for future use easily. And the bonus? it's so Elegant and easy to do !

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you. Fold it in half horizontally.
- Take the serviette and fold it in half again vertically so that it is now a small square a quarter the size of the original square.
- Only one corner of the square will have 4 open / loose edges, rotate your square so that it is a flat diamond shape with the loose edges pointing upwards. We will call this the North corner.
- Take the topmost of these points and make a relatively tight roll towards the South position, at about the half way point you won't be able to roll any further and you will have a diagonal neat cuff going east/west across the diamond shape.
- Now take the next loose corner at North and gently bring it South, tucking it underneath the cuff that you just made in the previous step but leaving a pleat showing above, the same width of the cuff below. You will now have two diagonal neat cuffs/pleats going east/west across the diamond shape.
- Then take the next loose point at North and bring it to the South position, and still holding the point, start rolling it under itself heading towards the North position, at about the half way point you won't be able to roll any further and you will have a third horizontal neat cuff going east/west across the diamond shape that's next to the second one.
- Rotate your diamond shape so that the North point is now the top right corner and you have a square shape in front of you with three diagonal pleats running from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.
- Gently turn the serviette over and bring the top right and bottom right corners into the center. Repeat with the top left and bottom left corners.
- Turn back to the front side and you will have a very neat rectangle that has three diagonal pleats running across it.
- An elegant and stylish serviette that will impress any guest.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you. Fold it in half horizontally.
- Take the serviette and fold it in half again vertically so that it is now a small square a quarter the size of the origonal square.
- Only one corner of the square will have 4 open / loose edges, rotate your square so that it is a flat diamond shape with the open corner pointing downwards. We will call this the South corner, and the top corner opposite North.
- Grasp your serviette about 2/3 of the ways up and starting at point that is on the East side of your serviette, make 5 folds or pleats more or less the same size, folding/ pleating towards from the East point to the West point.
- Slip your Serviette Ring over the north point and gently pull downwards so that only the top 1/3 of the serviette goes though the ring. Keep the north point of the serviette nicely centered.
- Spread the bottom half out the serviette into a fan formation so that both halves are equal and it looks pleasingly balanced.The top of the serviette should taper gently up to the North point and if wanted a small flower can be inserted into the fold at the top and down into the napkin ring.
- Place on empty plate.

- Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a square shape.
- Take the bottom two corners and fold them 1/3 of the way up the serviette.The fold line should be at the bottom.
- Take the top two corners and fold them 1/3 down so that the top two corners are level with the fold line that you made in the previous step.You now have a rectangle in front of you.
- Place your finger in the centre top point of the rectangle and with the other hand take the top right hand corner of the rectangle and fold it to the center bottom of the rectangle, but continue past the bottom of the rectangle so that you have a vertical straight line running down the center and a small flap sticking out that the bottom. Repeat with the left side of the serviette.
- Then fold the bottom two flaps back on top of themselves so that they are level with the bottom of the rest of the serviette. You will have before you a thin rectangle shape on the bottom and a triangle on top of it and there will be a vertical gap in the center of both of them.
- Take the right hand end of the rectangle and fold it into the center, repeat with the left hand side of the rectangle but insert it into the opposite piece.
- This should form a small square pocket that has a triangular top.
