Crochet ornament with Danish Christmas 'kringle'
Ever since Anna and Clara where children they have loved traditional, Danish Christmas 'kringle' - a sweet pretzel-shaped pastry with fillings. The 'kringle' is a nostalgic Christmas symbol which will surely bring joy in this crochet version. Download the file to see the crochet pattern.
Using col 1, make 51 chain stitches (ch) and work 6 rows (r) of double crochet (dc). Now fold the work in half lengthwise and join using slip stitches (ss). Fold to form a pretzel. Sew ends firmly, and weave in yarn tails. Using Col 3, sew small oblong dots (to resemble sugar crystals) onto the upper side of the pretzel. Sew here and there. Make it look random. Do not sew all the way through, only on the upper side of the pretzel. If you wish, you can sew with two strands of yarn. Weave in ends and put the work to one side.
Switch to Col 2, make 50 ch and work 1 r of ss. Break off yarn and weave in ends. Tie the cord onto the pretzel and hang it up.
