Napkin Folding – The Bishops Hat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Bishop’s Hat (or Bishop’s Mitre) is a classic, elegant napkin fold used in fine dining to create a tall, stable centerpiece on a plate. For best results, use a square cloth napkin and iron it with starch beforehand to ensure the folds remain crisp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step-by-Step Folding Instructions<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Initial Fold:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lay the napkin face down and fold it in half so the open end faces you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corner Folds:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fold the top-right corner diagonally down to the center of the bottom edge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fold the bottom-left corner diagonally up to the center of the top edge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flip and Rotate:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Flip the entire napkin over and rotate it 1\/4 turn so it points to the far-left and near-right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Create the Points:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fold the bottom half up to meet the top edge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reach underneath the right side and pull out the loose flap to create two triangles pointing toward you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuck and Secure:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fold the left-hand point into the center and tuck it under the diagonal fold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flip the napkin over again and tuck the remaining right-hand point into the opposite fold to secure the hat’s circular shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stand it Up:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Open the base with your hands and stand it upright, pushing down the material in the center to fill out the shape.<\/span><\/p>\n
