Pretzel link


In the mathematical theory of knots, a pretzel link is a special kind of link. A pretzel link which is also a knot (i.e. a link with one component) is a pretzel knot.

In the standard projection of the pretzel link, there are left-handed crossings in the first tangle, in the second, and, in general, in the nth.
