Those who love original, stylish accessories are certainly familiar with this mysterious word - Baktus. This is what triangular-shaped knitted scarves are called.

Baktus is a triangular scarf, knitted with garter stitch or crocheted. The length of the bactus scarf in the classic version ranges from 120 to 150 cm and even more. The optimal size is the distance between outstretched arms + approximately 20 cm in order to conveniently tie the product.

The traditional Norwegian bactus was a wool canvas decorated with ornaments. Currently, we can decorate this triangular scarf with whatever we like best: pom-poms, tassels and beads, sequins, etc. – what your imagination tells you.

Scarves - baktus, crocheted have now become very popular. They knit up pretty quickly and look very elegant.

Crocheting bactus is easy. You will need at least 100-150g of yarn and a hook. The size of the hook depends on the thickness of the yarn.

You can knit with regular single crochets - simply and tastefully, with an elastic band using single crochets, or with one of the openwork patterns.

If you use sectionally dyed yarn in knitting, you will get an original pattern or alternating colored stripes. The choice of yarn for knitting will depend on the time of year and the purpose of the product; silk, cotton, cashmere and wool are widely used.

Now let's start knitting a simple but quite beautiful bactus together:

Master class “Crocheting bactus”

This fashionable accessory is very easy to knit and a pleasure!

So, to knit such a bactus we will need:

We will knit this simple bactus in one fabric in rotating rows using regular single crochet stitches (hereinafter referred to as sc), grabbing the loops by both halves. That is, we knit one row, unfold the knitting and knit the next row in the opposite direction. We will knit from the corner, gradually making increases to expand - to the middle, then decreases.

To make it more convenient and simpler, let’s immediately define the notation:

VP - air loop

Runway - air lift loop

RLS - single crochet

We collect a chain of 4 VPs and connect them into a ring:


We make 1 runway, turn the knitting, and knit 3 sc inside our ring. Next 1 runway, turn the knitting:


We knit the first row - 3 sc + 1 sc increase. That is, we knitted 3 single crochets in a row, and in the last loop we knit not one, but 2 sc at once - this is our first increase. So we got four out of three stitches.


The first 3-5 rows with increases - it’s better to count the number of resulting loops in the row. With each increase you should get 1 more stitch.

In the last loop we put a marker (a paperclip or a thread of a different color - whatever is at hand) so that we don’t get confused - since we will always make increases from one edge - we marked it.



HOW TO MAKE INCREASES

Our bactus will be in the form of a triangle, expanding towards the center. One edge at the top will be smooth without any additions. And the bottom edge will expand towards the center - due to increases.


To make the expansion gradual, we will make increases in every second row.

When we reach the center, having knitted it to the width we need, we will begin to make decreases according to the same principle, so that both halves of the bactus turn out to be a mirror image.

This is how I knitted several rows with increases, and a triangle began to emerge:


When we have knitted the bactus to the width we need (it’s better to try it on and see how many more rows to knit with increases), we begin to make decreases.

We knit a row towards the marker - we have the last three loops left (the very last one is the chain lifting loop of the previous row):


We knit the first two of these three loops together with a loop on the hook (that is, we make the next 2 stitches unfinished, then we pull the working thread through three loops on the hook at once). Of the two columns we got one:



We have one more loop left - the last one - we knit it like a regular single crochet:



I knitted several rows with decreases:



This is how the bactus turned out:


Well, now you already know how crochet a shawl or bactus, and I’m sure you’ll easily knit this fashionable accessory for yourself.

Even loops for you!

A woman of any age - be it a baby or an older lady - wants to be beautiful and clothing style plays an important role here. A knitted bactus, crocheted according to a pattern created by yourself, will help. This scarf combines beauty and a cozy look.

Baktus - what is it?

Scarf originally from Norway, handmade. Its classic size at its widest part is from 110 to 160 cm. Previously, in its homeland, it was sewn from pieces of fabric left over from sewing outerwear and decorated with ornaments, fringes or tassels. Now there are a huge number of decoration options - they are limited only by the flight of imagination of the craftswoman.

Baktus make it possible to change images every day - modern styles, romance, country, boho, etc. They can be knitted with openwork patterns from multi-colored yarn, a dense single fabric, from motifs, decorated with ribbon, fur, be warm or from a thin “summer” yarn - the possibilities are countless! Also, the traditional pattern that came from the homeland of bactus - transverse multi-colored stripes - does not lose ground. The shades used are very different - from muted tones to the brightest and most unusual combinations.

Bactus made of openwork fabric is a wonderful option for a delicate and airy look. It will give your appearance uniqueness, modesty and naivety.

Another advantage is the speed of production - 2-3 days and you have a new thing ready!

How to wear and what to combine with a scarf-scarf?

It fits perfectly with any style, regardless of the time of year. It will flirtatiously complement your formal blouse, boring jacket and even a men's shirt or jacket. The bactus scarf is a universal item suitable for both women's and men's wardrobes. There is no need to talk about children - this addition to clothing looks very touching and interesting. The stronger sex also began to use these scarves to highlight individuality and brightness. So, bactus is a unisex thing. Therefore, if it is chosen correctly, it will become very appropriate in the image.

The fashion for this accessory has led to the emergence of a huge variety of models and styles of such scarves.

There is no single option for tying bactus. There are a huge number of original ways to wear it.

A classic of the genre is the placement of an obtuse angle forward, and 2 free corners crossed at the back and also laid in front.

They wear bactus and throw it over outerwear - it looks very picturesque.

In summer they use cotton or viscose scarves - they look great and are also very functional!

Features and advantages of bactus over a regular scarf

This is a practical item in your wardrobe that perfectly protects from frosty winter weather, from the chilly autumn wind, and will save your shoulders and neck on a scorching hot summer day. You can use it as a bolero vest or stole.

When choosing yarn for creating bactus, be guided by the purpose of the item and the time of year. Very often, silk, cotton, wool or cashmere threads are used for these purposes.

For example, for the office, knit it from silk or viscose - “cool” threads will not cause inconvenience. Create a warm accessory for autumn and winter from thick warming yarn, and for summer knit an openwork bactus made of cotton or linen.

Tools and materials

Threads for knitting bacti must be elastic and dense, otherwise the finished product will not be able to keep its shape well. It is advisable to choose yarn containing merino wool, lamb or cotton. It can be mixed, but must contain at least 50% of the above components. Let’s say both 100% merino yarn and cashmere + merino are suitable, in a 50/50 ratio. Experienced knitters willingly use yarn from bobbins - there is much more footage here than when knitting from skeins.

So, take yarn such as:

  • merino;
  • merino + cotton;
  • merino + cashmere;
  • lamb wool yarn;
  • alpaca + silk;
  • various blended yarns containing at least 50% merino/lamb or cotton.

This choice of thread is a basis, but far from an ironclad rule. This is creativity, not a strict methodological process, so experiment and invent, try and create! For example, cashmere has become a discovery for many needlewomen - the yarn is very soft and delicate, you can’t call it elastic and dense, but it looks amazing in bactus - it fits perfectly into the pattern!

Just when purchasing, keep in mind that cashmere thread is much lighter than woolen thread, which means its consumption will differ from the description, and the weight must be calculated in advance.

Also choose the color of yarn for knitting to your taste. You can create a bright, cheerful bactus that will lift your spirits, or you can make a subdued, calm scarf. Threads can be monochromatic or with a transition of colors. If you knit it from 100% cotton or linen yarn, you can wear it in summer.
