The Yotsu Musubi
The Yotsu Musubi is identical to the Korean Lotus wrapping technique. This efficient technique utilizes just two half knots, or alternatively two square knots/granny knots, and can be completed in mere seconds.
Although this wrapping method is predominantly used for square items, it can be adapted for items of different shapes as well.
How to Fold the Yotsu Musubi
The diagonal length of the cloth should be approximately five times the length of the item to be wrapped.
However, this varies based on the height of the item. For particularly tall items, a larger cloth may be necessary to effectively employ this wrapping technique.
Spread the cloth in front of you with the side to be displayed facing downward.
Ensure that the item is placed exactly in the center of the cloth.
Bring two opposing corners of the cloth together and secure them with a half knot.
For rectangular objects, it's best to first bring together the two opposing corners of the cloth on either side of the item's longest side and knot them.
For square items, any two opposing corners can be tied together initially, given that all sides are of equal length.
Repeat the process with the remaining two corners, but this time tie a granny knot or a square knot (two half knots stacked) to ensure the knot stays secure and the fabric does not unravel unintentionally.
Now it's time to enjoy gifting your beautifully wrapped creation!
