For anybody who, like me, is better at folding paper than visualizing this:
If you cut a rectangle of paper the length of the outside of your handkerchief edging, and fold the outer edges at a 45 degree angle so that your paper is now the exact size of one edge of the handkerchief from the middle of one corner to the middle of the next corner, and roll that paper in a circle so that one mid-corner touches the other mid-corner, it will be the exact size of the cone that you need. If you made a bolster in that cone-shape, you could make a full 4-cornered edging without moving the pattern. Hope this helps.
