Blue bactusMoreover, its types do not end there and there are so many more types, so many more will be created by the hands of masters. Therefore, you should not take a long time to choose the right model. Let's move on to the best options for this product and then two stunning models especially for fashionable ladies.

Step-by-step execution of a bactus scarf

Bactus, openwork or with tassels, and even the breakwater always have the shape of a triangle. They may differ in sizes and patterns, thread thickness and color. But at the base there will always be an equilateral triangle. Then two bactus models with diagrams and detailed descriptions.

Bactus in purl stitch with tassels

A very beautiful model of bactus is made with a thick thread and has equally charming tassels along the edges. The model is easy to create, warm and practical.

Bactus model 1To work you will need:

  • thick yarn Alize;
  • knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread (long straight).

Measurements

Usually, a triangle with a base of 1 m is used for bactus. Therefore, we immediately tried on the ribbon for ourselves, so that the bactus would wrap around the neck and hang freely over the shoulders. The length of the other sides can be adjusted, as well as the length of the entire product.

Sample

We knitted a small sample and used it to calculate the knitting density for the scarf. The density represents the number of stitches and the number of rows in 10 cm.It is better to record the density immediately on a piece of paper, since later in the calculation process you can make a mistake.

Garter stitchDescription

We have cast on 3 loops and begin knitting a garter stitch; in each row we will then add one loop on one side. Add only on one side so that the increase and expansion is along one edge. Knit with increasing and adding stitches exactly to the middle. Then they tried it on again and assessed how the size matches.

After the middle row, we begin to knit rows with decreases and also decrease on one side. This is the side where additions were previously made. There will be 3 loops left - close the knitting.

Tassels

To make a tassel, you will need to cut 30 pieces 20 cm long. Next, use one strip to make a tie 1.5 cm from the edge (the ends are bent in half and a tie is made from the fold).

Assembly

All that remains is to sew on the tassels and the original and very voluminous product is ready.

Gray bactus with thick thread

The thick gray thread is a godsend. Braids and arans will look lovely on her, and a regular stockinette stitch in gray made of thick thread is a treat. A very simple and beautiful bactus model for a beginner.

Baktus model 2To work you will need:

  • thick gray yarn;
  • knitting needles for thick yarn.

Measurements

For a scarf, you need to measure with a face tape how much length is needed to wrap around the neck, taking into account free hanging and throwing about 10 cm over the volume. It is better not to make the length up to 1 meter (very short and inconvenient).

Sample

Knit a small square using stockinette stitch according to the provided pattern, and count how many knit stitches there will be in 10 cm. Also count how many rows there will be in such a pattern for 10 cm. These numbers are the knitting density. They will help determine the initial set of loops.

Description

The result should be an equilateral triangle. Length is the longest side of the triangle (this is its base). Knitting occurs from the base to the corner (top of the triangle). Count how many loops are needed for the initial set (this is the length of the entire product).

Important! It is better to use an odd number of stitches for casting on and a multiple of 5.

For this model, 205 stitches were used for the initial cast. In total it was necessary to knit 102 rows. Afterwards there were 3 loops left and they were simply closed according to the fabric pattern.

Then knit according to the pattern and in each row decrease 2 loops on each side. Knit like this until there are 3 loops left.

Bactus leavesThis is how quickly and easily even a beginner can knit a beautiful bactus. Maybe this will be the first product of a novice master.

We make beautiful knitted items with complex patterns and simple ones. Nothing should stop a true craftsman on his way to a beautiful product. Creative inspiration to every master.
