Instructions

Start with colour 08 dark brown

Start by making 6 double crochet stitches in a magic ring, and leave a long tail

• Inc x 6 (12)

Make 100 rounds of 12 double crochet stitches (it should be 30cm), add filling as you go.

Once it is 30cm long and stuffed with fibrefill, you close off the end.

• Dec x 6 (6)

Weave the last 6 stitches together, and cut the yarn – but leave a long tail for sewing the pretzel form.

To find the right shape of the pretzel, you can use a couple of pins to secure the ends.

Now you just need to sew them attached.

Weave in the ends and cut the yarn.

Use the colour ’sand’ to embroider the salt on the pretzel - weave in the ends.
