Lacy Baktus

    by Strikkelise
    Pattern source: Strikkelise's patterns
    Yarn: fiberphile Alchemy Super Squish Sock, colourway Honey
    Needles: 3mm

    Modifications: added a simple "yo k2tog" lace pattern every 8th row

    Love this. <3

    Here’s exactly what I did (with a permission from Strikkelise):

    CO 4 sts.

    Set up rows:

    1. knit until 1 st left, yo, k1
    2. k1, k1tbl, knit to end
    3. knit
    4. knit
    repeat rows 1-4 once. 6 sts

    Lace pattern:

    1. knit until 1 st left, yo, k1
    2. k1, k1tbl, knit to end
    3. k2, *yo, k2tog*, repeat from * until 1 st left, k1
    4. knit
    5. knit until 1 st left, yo, k1
    6. k1, k1tbl, knit to end
    7. knit
    8. knit

    I started the decreases when the shawl measured about 23 inches, unstreched.

    1. knit until 3 sts left, k2tog, k1
    2. knit
    3. k2, *yo, k2tog*, repeat from * until 1 st left, k1
    4. knit
    5. knit until 3 sts left, k2tog, k1
    6. knit
    7. knit
    8. knit

    Repeat until you have 4 stitches left, cast off.

      Was inspired to take up knitting again when I bought some lovely yarn from the Knitting & Stitching Show. I love the lacy Baktus and my friend just gave me a revision lesson, so I've got started!

      Loves lovely. I was gifted with 275 yards of lovely silk- probably DK weight and wonder the amount of yarn people have used to make this...
      Thanks.

      Very interested in doing this, what does tbl mean?

    27. lille-ursus (27 months ago | reply)

      I hope it's okay that I write this. TBL means through the back loop. :)

    28. halldora.skarphedinsdottir (27 months ago | reply)

      This is such a lovely and simple shawl /scarve.... !
      I would love to translate this to Icelandic for my fellow Icelandic knitters.... With permission from you and Strikkelise. Is that ok ?

      Sure, it's fine with me. :-) And thank you!

    30. EliceH (26 months ago | reply)

      Would Love to try this one! Really pretty. Sorry, new to following knitting instructions, Do the directions mean to work the set up rows first then procede with the rest of the scarf, never to use the "set up rows" again? Thanks

    31. terhimon (26 months ago | reply)

      Elice: Yes, that's right. :-)

    32. EliceH (26 months ago | reply)

      Thanks for the speedy reply!

    33. Lyvvie (25 months ago | reply)

      Hiya! i love this (I have just the yarn for it!), but like EliceH, I'm a new knitter. If I wanted to make this as a cowl, would I just follow the lace pattern instructions for my width choice?

    34. cerevic (24 months ago | reply)

      Thank you so much! I can't wait to get started on this.

    35. peggypennie (21 months ago | reply)

      I just printed out the directions and here I go................hopefully I will suceed!!!

      Hi Ya, I love this pattern! I just bought some "real" yarn from my first trip to a real yarn shop! It was like Christmas morning being in that store. I bought Mirasol Hacho 100% Merino Wool in a DK weight. It just coming gorgeous! The colorway is browns and a slight beige. It s just beautiful! Thank you so much for the pattern!
      My question is this, the pattern written in the revision form says when it reaches 23" start the decrease side, but does it mean 23" in length or 23" in width?
      I didn't weigh the yarn before I started so I can't judge by weight!
      Thanks again for the great pattern!

    37. terhimon (19 months ago | reply)

      23" in length. Hope you enjoy knitting this!
      Somehow I've missed your question, sorry! But yes, that's what I would do. :-)

    38. Waterbird Boatworks (17 months ago | reply)

      Simply gorgeous! I'm giving it a shot!

    39. beth~yellowhousedays (16 months ago | reply)

      OH. my. word. I knit this several years ago and couldn't remember the name of it... finally found it and realized I never saved it as a favorite! Thank you - I'm off to make another!

      I too want to knit this lovely Baktus scarf.. I am thinking of using Mochi Plus or Alpaca but haven't decided as yet.. It is really a little different and not too lacy.. I may be back if I run into problems.. Thank you for sharing it with us. Sandy

    41. jaa92129 (13 months ago | reply)

      I just bought some beautiful Lana Grossa Lace Merino in a dark turquoise and it is knitting this pattern beautifully. Thank you for publishing your pattern!

    42. Becca Davis (12 months ago | reply)

      I think I am going to try this! I wonder how it would look with some fringe?

    43. cheribella1 (11 months ago | reply)

      This is lovely...I will have to go find some yarn that is worthy of this project! thank you so much for sharing.
