Project:  Baktus Scarf
Date:  Saturday, November 6
Time:  9:00 - 11:00a


The Baktus scarf is a lightweight scarf typically knit with sock yarn.  Knit by more than 5,000 Ravelers, this popular pattern is simple & beautiful.  The principle is to knit a triangle using your exact amount of yarn.   We'll cast on & discuss alternative methods of increasing for shaping this garter stitch project. This is a simple pattern, suitable for beginners & intermediate knitters. 


Materials:   US #2 or US#3 24” circular needle, & approximately 400 yards/100 grams sock yarn.  Students will need to print the pattern before the class.*  You may bring your own needles & tools for this project, but please plan to purchase yarn for this project at LYS. Thanks!

*Strikkelise has given us permission to use her pattern, but students must download their own copy.  Thanks, Strikkelise!
