Construction

A flat panel is knit in stockinette stitch with 3 large “binder holes” created along the left-hand side. A second panel is knit with the holes mirrored on the right-hand side; the two panels are then seamed together around a foam poster board with corresponding holes and embroidered to look like binder paper.
