The technique is more accessible than it looks. Start with a firmly knitted square in a non-stretchy yarn: cotton, linen, or a wool-cotton blend. Score the fold lines with pins. Work the pleats by hand. The knitted structure holds the crease better than you'd expect and releases it when you want to start over.

 

For a home object, a folded textile bowl or wall panel requires no frame, no armature, just the fabric and the decision of where to fold.
