Description: This toe-up design features a fun four-round stitch pattern reminiscent of the traditional pretzel twist! And since this pair is knit with our merino yarn - these are definitely Soft Pretzels. The fancy flap style heel is integrated into a pair of tricked out gussets, and stitch counts are increased through the heel creation for an optimized fit. Instructions for this design are provided in text and charts.
