好玩的辮子包

在眾多包包之中我最喜歡做辮子包，鬢辮的工序很好玩效果又俊俏。這包包的蛋黃比例很高，金黃的顏色就是這樣來的。本來是一款鹹包叫 Challah，我將它加 9% 糖改為甜包，還加了提子乾，配上不同的飾面，很適合用來送給三五知己。鬢辮是有口訣的，大家試試看。

4 strand : 1 over 3, 2 over 3, 4 over 2

5 strand : 1 over 3, 2 over 3, 5 over 2

6 strand : 1 over 3, 5 over 1, 6 over 4, 2 over 6

很複雜嗎？先用繩子毛冷試了才做吧！再不，送你一套VCD 但請務必試了才算啊！
