How to Fold a Pocket Dinner Napkin

Folding napkins is both a tidy way to set a table and an art form. Whether you want to fold your napkins into a swan or use them under your silverware on the table, knowing about different napkin folds can help vary your table decor. A pocket napkin fold is a simple way to showcase your utensils at a neatly set table.

Instructions

- 1
  Lay out your napkin flat in front of you on a table or other flat surface.
- 2
  Fold the napkin in half vertically, then fold the bottom of the napkin up so the edge lays about a third of the way from the top.
- 3
  Fold the new bottom of the napkin up about halfway again so the bottom is double the thickness.
- 4
  Fold both sides back toward the center, letting one side overlap the other by about an inch. Tuck one side into the other to help hold it in place.
- 5
  Flip the napkin over gently, revealing the pocket. Place your silverware in the pocket and arrange as you like.
