    Turn it over again. At the same end, fold the corners into the middle line that is made by the two folds. This will be the collar. The exact angles are not critical.

    Fold the opposite end in as shown. This fold can cross the circular pattern to form a sort of "necklace"; see the front of the shirt in the next step. You can also adjust this fold to control the length of the finished shirt.
  7. 7
    Fold the same end that you just folded again, up the rest of the way so the bottom fits neatly under the “collar.

    Fold the same end that you just folded again, up the rest of the way so the bottom fits neatly under the “collar.” The collar holds this fold in place. You can get the best fit by tucking the end snugly under the collar and then sliding your finger to the bottom to form the crease.

    Make the sleeves.

    • Unfold both of the folds you just made.

    • Fold the side back into place with the “sleeve” sticking out.
