Let's look at a few original ideas knitting with patterns, product description.
Garter stitch bactus for beginners
This graceful bactus with a jagged edge will not leave anyone indifferent. With this accessory you can update any outfit. The scarf measures 35 cm at the top and is 1 meter long. 
Beginning needlewomen will need the following materials:
- about 100 grams of yarn (a mixture of wool and acrylic);
- marker;
- long knitting needles N4;
- row counter.
Operating procedure
Cast on 3 loops, knit from the 1st to the 10th row in garter stitch. That is, except for the edges, knit or purl - choose any knitting (the pattern of the product will be the same). In each even row of the product, make an increase. The knitting should be on one side of the scarf, secure with a marker.To prevent a hole from forming in this scarf model, you need to knit 2 stitches from the last loop (before the edge stitch). Grab one loop on the front wall, without removing the loops from the left knitting needle, tie another knit stitch on the back wall.
By the time 10 rows are knitted, 8 loops will have formed on the knitting needle (along with the edge loops).
Zigzag along the side of the scarf where you add the increase. This is done like this: remove the 1st loop without knitting, knit the 2nd, draw through (throw the right loop over the left one, return it to the left knitting needle, so it will become an edge loop).
Cast off 3 stitches, resulting in row 11 with 5 stitches (with edge stitches).
Then the zigzag knitting technique is repeated from the 2nd to the 10th row. In the 6th - increase the 1st loop again, and then knit even rows with an increase, and odd rows without an increase. Knit another 10 rows in the same way, by the 21st - there will be 10 loops on the knitting needles (with edge stitches). In the 22nd - again knit a bactus clove using the method described above.
Repeat the technique of knitting the teeth of the product towards the end of the first long side leg. Knit increases until the widest side of the product reaches 30 cm and its length is 1 meter. Having finished the next zigzag, start knitting the other side of the leg of the same triangle. First, form the top of the triangle using the partial knitting method.
Rows 1-2: slip the edge stitch, knit the next 2 stitches, turn the work, leaving the remaining stitches on the left needle (do not knit them). Knit 3 loops, and knit the edge loop.
3-4 rows: remove the edge, knit 3 loops, turn the knitting and knit again, as in the 2nd row.
So in each next odd row, add the 1st knitted loop. When 5 loops are knitted on the knitting needle, close, as when knitting cloves. Cast off 5 stitches, knit the next 2 stitches on the left needle, and begin the partial knitting technique again. Continue to the end of the second leg of the scarf. Cast off the last stitches and the scalloped bactus is ready.

Once you understand some of the models, you can easily make bactus with knitting needles; it will be a wonderful gift for any person.
Sometimes a diagram from a photo or a text description is not enough to understand how to knit an accessory. Therefore, the video will help you understand the method of knitting bactus.
Video: Warm scarf knitted
Size 105 x 190 cm. Such parameters are enough for an adult to be completely wrapped in bactus.
Let's knit bactus with knitting needles for the autumn-winter period. The combination of colors is chosen in such a way that the bactus looks like a bright accessory on outerwear. It can be worn over a coat. The size allows you to wear it like a scarf, tied around your head.
The yarn is dense, warm, and contains wool. Therefore, even in sub-zero temperatures, you will feel warm in such a bactus.
You will need:
- Yarn TROITSK Madagascar, 20% merino wool, 10% viscose, 70% acrylic, 50 g/80 m. 3 skeins of yellow, 4 skeins of green and 2 skeins of beige
- Circular knitting needles 3 mm, 200 cm.
- Hook for securing threads
The photo does not show all the yarn that was needed for knitting. Then I bought more. The price for one skein of yarn is approximately 70 rubles. It can be purchased at any online craft store. Now it is quite common.
Let's start with beige yarn and change the yarn as needed.
Three broaches formed on the left and right. We lift three loops from the broaches on the right (just put them on the knitting needle). Unroll the knitting and knit 6 knit stitches.
Unfold the knitting and pick up three more loops on the other side. Unfold again and knit 9 stitches.
On each side of the bactus we will have 4 edge loops. We always knit them with knit stitches.
Bactus knitting. Knitting pattern
1 row. 4 knit edge loops + extra loop + 1 knit stitch (this will be the central loop, for convenience you can hang a marker on it) + additional loop + 4 knit edge loops.
How to knit extra stitches
The video below shows how to knit an additional loop before and after the edge stitches. We make the same increases before and after the central loop.
2nd row. Unfold the knitting. Wrong side. We knit 4 edge stitches + 3 purl stitches (we knit 2 loops from additional loops of the previous row and one more loop - the central one) + 4 edge stitches with knit stitches.
3rd row. Facial. 4 edge loops (knit) + extra loop + 1 knit + extra loop + 1 knit + extra loop + 1 knit + extra loop + 4 edge loops. In every front row there will be 4 additional loops (4 increases). After the first 4 edge loops, add the 1st loop (1 additional loop), then before and after the central loop (two more additional loops); then before the last 4 edge stitches there is one more additional loop.
4 row. We knit the edge stitches with knit stitches, and the remaining loops with purl stitches.
We knit 18 cm.
Pattern
Front row. 4 edge loops, 1 additional loop, 1 knit stitch, then 1 yarn over and 2 loops together. Alternate yarn over and two loops together until the center loop. Before the central loop we knit symmetrically: 1 knit, 1 additional loop, central loop - knit, 1 additional loop, 1 knit, yarn over, two loops together and so on until the end of the row. Before the last edge stitches there is an additional loop.
You can see how to knit this pattern in the video:
Purl row. We purl all the loops, except the edge ones. We also knit the yarn overs of the previous row purlwise.
3 row of pattern. Facial. We knit all the loops with knit stitches, not forgetting to increase.
4 row- purl all the loops, except for the edge ones.
Change the thread to yellow. We knit 12 cm according to the pattern without a pattern. This is approximately a full skein of yarn.
Change the thread to green. We knit 10 cm according to the pattern and repeat the pattern. Next we knit another 30 cm according to the pattern.
Change the thread to yellow. We knit one front row and one purl row. Then we repeat the pattern.
We knit another 8 cm according to the pattern.
Change the thread to beige. We knit 20 rows (10 knit and 10 purl). We finish knitting the bactus with 8 rows of garter stitch: in the front rows we knit according to the pattern with additions (4 yarn overs in each row). We also knit the purl row with knit stitches, but without any additions. We knit the central loop purlwise.
Baktus is an interesting neck accessory that has become very popular recently. This is a triangular scarf or scarf that is tied around the neck with a middle angle forward. Bactus is a wonderful and interesting alternative to a snood or scarf. It can be intended only for beauty and completing the image, or it can be warm, woolen, and in addition to the aesthetic function, also perform a practical, warming one. Let's take a closer look at how to knit such a warm, yet very beautiful and stylish bactus with knitting needles.
For work we will need:
- Yarn. For this model, the sectional dyed thread Alize lanagold batik was chosen. Coloring such a thread creates an interesting effect of transition of shades in the product.
- Knitting needles number 3 or 3.5.
- Beads with a wide hole for decorating the ends of bactus – 6 pieces.
- Scissors.
When everything is ready, let's start. It's important to understand the principle when working on this thing. Knitting is very simple and fun. We use 3 types of knitting:
- Stockinette stitch or stockinette stitch. In the front rows there are facial loops, in the purl rows there are purl loops.
- Net. Knit row: Yarn over, 2 together and repeat until the end of the row. Purl row - purl all stitches, including yarn overs.
- Garter stitch: knit stitches in both purl and knit rows.
This simple types knitting techniques that even beginners can do.
Now in detail the stages of creating a bactus:
Bactus is a triangle. We start knitting from the center of the longest side of the triangle.
We put 2 loops on the knitting needles and knit 6 rows in garter stitch.
There are 2 loops on the knitting needle, raise 5 more loops, returning along the side of the knitted bar. In total there are 7 loops on the knitting needle.
We distribute the loops like this: 2 – the edge of the bactus, we always knit them in garter stitch, that is, always with knit stitches. 1 loop – the beginning of the main fabric of one side of the bactus, 1 central loop, 1 loop – the beginning of the second side of the bactus and 2 outer loops. This will be the base on which we will make additions on both sides of the central loop to expand the bactus fabric. You can hang a marker on the central loop, but when knitting it will be visible anyway.
Next we knit as follows.
All front rows: 2 outer loops in garter stitch, add a loop from the broach between the loops, then all the front loops of the bactus fabric to the central loop. Yarn over in front of the central loop and knit the central loop. Next, everything is in a mirror image: after the central loop, yarn over, knit all the loops up to the outer two, increase from the broach between the loops, the outer 2 loops in garter stitch. We knit the wrong side like this: the last two loops are in garter stitch, we add a loop from the broach between the loops, then purl all the loops, including yarn overs to the outer two loops, again we add a loop from the broach between the loops, the last 2 loops are in garter stitch.
Important! We make additions in the front rows after the last 2 loops from the broach, on the sides of the central loop of the yarn over and again before the last 2 loops from the broach. In purl rows only near the outer loops from the broach.
This way we knit any number of rows. This will be the smooth part, which we will alternate with mesh. Before starting and after the mesh, it is important to knit 1 row from the wrong side with facial loops.
We knit the mesh according to the same pattern with the same additions: add after the 2 outer loops from the broach
and on the sides of the central loop
Only in the main fabric we do not use stocking stitch, but a mesh stitch. After the mesh, we knit the purl row of the main fabric with facial loops. This way we will have a beautiful relief frame on both sides of the mesh.
Alternate rows of stocking stitch and mesh as you want
We knit the edge of the bactus in several rows (5-6 rows) in stocking stitch and close the loops.
The bactus itself is ready. Now let's decorate it with tassels. To do this, we will make three tassels from the threads that are left over from knitting:
We wind the thread several turns (35-45) around 4 fingers of the palm.
We pull a piece of thread from one edge and tie it tightly.
We form the head of the brush by pulling it with thread.
String a couple of beads on top of the tassel.
Now we tie the tassels along the edges of the bactus and hide the thread. The stylish accessory is ready.
Among the knitted items, if you look at the new items for 2018-2019, you will definitely come across baktus - Scandinavian triangular scarves that have become fashionable in the countries of Northern Europe. These versatile knits are comfortable and practical and can be worn with any other clothing and at any time of the year.
Any woman can knit bactus with knitting needles, creating an interesting outfit for herself. You just need to choose one of the video lessons and carefully repeat all the movements of the instructor. Our selection of master classes includes classes for beginners, where you will learn how to create new bactus models with your own hands that will decorate your wardrobe.
Scandinavian scarf
A knitted scarf is not easy to knit so that its corners are the same. You are offered knitting patterns in which adding and decreasing stitches led to the creation of a strictly equilateral scarf. The yarn used is 100% acrylic, 100 grams of which contain 200 meters of thread.
The scarf used 300 grams of wool. The knitting needles used were size 5.5. The sides of the triangle turned out to be 117 centimeters each, the third side is 185 cm. A formula for knitting a scarf is proposed, which allows you to achieve the necessary symmetry. To get an interesting picture, detailed diagrams alternation different types loops
Video lesson:
Shawl-bactus
The yarn used for knitting is Italian-made Princess, consisting of 30% wool and 70% acrylic. 100 grams of it contain 190 meters of thread. The yarn is not itchy and pleasant to the touch, and looks beautiful after washing. Circular knitting needles No. 3 were used. First of all, 30 rows are knitted in stockinette stitch, then 4 rows in a garter stitch.
Next, alternating the stockinette stitch and the garter pattern allows you to get an interesting pattern. All this is described in detail in the video tutorial. To close the loops, needles No. 4 were used. The ability to knit straight and purl stitches is quite enough to create a shawl, and for beginners the knitting process is shown in detail.
Video lesson:
Knitted scarf
The video tutorial allows you to understand how to start knitting a scarf, in which places to add additions to get a triangular shape and decorate the product with a pattern. Knitting is quite accessible even for beginners. We will need:
- knitting needles on a long fishing line, since when knitting a triangle the number of loops increases all the time;
- hook for obtaining a pattern with cones;
- alpaca or mohair yarn, always light.
The scarf can have a triangular or crescent shape; work diagrams are given to obtain both options. The yarn used is 70% merino wool, 10% silk and 10% cashmere.
Video lesson:
For knitting, knitting needles No. 6 and ALIZE yarn were used, containing 49% wool and 51% acrylic. 100 grams contain 240 meters of thread. We cast on three loops on the knitting needles in three rows. In the fourth row, a loop is added, and the next three rows already have 4 loops. Next, a loop is added again. The result is a corner.
Anyone can understand the description for beginners. Having reached the maximum number of loops (in our case, 42 loops), we begin to gradually reduce their number until there are only three loops left that are closed. At the corners of a triangular bactus, you can make tassels, the manufacture of which is discussed in detail.
Video lesson:
Bactus from left to right
You can use any yarn and select knitting needles depending on the desired knitting density. Pure cotton yarn “Alize” was used, 50 grams of which contain 180 meters. Knitting is done on needles No. 3. The work begins with six loops. Then the knitting is unfolded, and the first row is knitted with facial loops. The purl row is also created from knit stitches, so it turns out to be a garter stitch.
From the third row, the addition of loops in the center begins, and three loops on the left and right will be required for finishing the edges. Knitting patterns for triangular bactus are not complicated, you just need to follow the instructions of the instructor.
Video lesson:
Neckerchief
Bactus may have different size, it can be adjusted during operation. Knitting begins from the corner, five loops are cast on, and one loop is added in every second row. This is how the bevel is formed, the fabric itself expands, and when you have knitted it to the size you need, you simply close all the loops. In the sample, the work was completed on 152 loops. This corresponds to size 180cm. Used for this:
- “Alize Lana Gold” wool blend yarn with a density of 240 meters per 100 grams;
- size 5 knitting needles;
There are options available to get openwork pattern. In this case, pure acrylic yarn was used.
Video lesson:
100 gram shawl
Knitting is done on needles No. 4 on a 60-centimeter fishing line. For 50 grams of yarn made from 60% cotton, 30% wool and 10% yak, there are 130 meters of thread. It explains in detail how to use the diagrams and descriptions. Edge loops are not indicated in the diagram. A triangular shawl begins to be knitted from the center, although you can start from one of the corners.
It tells how many loops need to be added in each case to obtain a regular triangle. Before starting to implement the pattern, two loops are made, which are knitted with straight loops. With a gradual addition of loops, knitting proceeds row after row. After the seventh row, work according to the scheme begins.
Video lesson:
Scarf bactus
The scarf is knitted simply and beautifully: it consists entirely of knit stitches, the number of which gradually increases and decreases. Wool blend yarn was used, which contains equal parts wool and acrylic. The colors of the yarn were different, so the scarf turned out to have stripes. The maximum width of the scarf is 34 cm, the total length is 144 cm.
The sizes depend on the threads and the size of the knitting needles and can be selected as desired. Used knitting needles size 2.5. Start knitting from one of the ends, while one edge remains straight, and on the second edge all increases and then decreases are made. Only four loops are cast on, and an increase is made from the next row on one side.
Video lesson:
Bactus (neck scarf)
A scarf with a simple pattern turns out beautiful. Its width is 35 cm, length is 120 cm. When knitting, the following were used:
- flexible knitting needles No. 4;
- Pekhorka yarn new alpaca, for 150 meters - 50 grams, 2 skeins of yarn went.
We cast on 15 stitches on the knitting needles and mark the middle of the row. We knit with knit stitches to the mark, yarn over and continue knitting with knit stitches. In the second row all stitches are knitted. The third row is knitted to the center, yarn over, and knitted to the end. The following rows are knitted in the same way, and it is described and shown in detail how each row is knitted from the first to the 12th. Then everything is repeated in the same sequence.
Video lesson:
Warm bactus scarf
Belarusian yarn “Areola” is used from 16% alpaca, 35% wool and 49% polyacrylic. A 50-gram skein contains 235 meters of thread. We knit with two threads using knitting needles number 4.5 on a fishing line. We cast on five loops on the knitting needles and begin the first row. The first loop is knit, then the same, the third is purl, 4 and 5 are knitted.
Starting from the next row, we make increases. It is described in detail and shown how to make straight and reverse yarn overs, and knit front and back loops. The result is an increase at the edges and in the center of the row, on both sides of the center line. As a result, a triangular fabric is formed.
Video lesson:
The scarf is an integral part women's wardrobe, so today we want to tell you how to knit a fabulously beautiful and cozy Norwegian triangular scarf - bactus. The shape of the scarf resembles a regular scarf, which will become a real decoration in your wardrobe.
Recommended yarn composition: merino, merino/acrylic, cotton/acrylic, microfiber or viscose. The yarn must hold its shape to create voluminous and attractive folds. We will need 200-300 grams of yarn, about 600 meters. Knitting needles: from 3 to 4.
Additionally, for work we will need:
1. 50 markers or paper clips if you do not have the required number of markers. You can also use colored threads of different colors.
2. The hook is 1.5-2 numbers larger than the knitting needles used.
We cast on the loops in the following way: take a hook 1.5-2 numbers larger than the number of knitting needles used, crochet number 5, with knitting needles number 3.5.
You need to crochet a chain of air loops, turn it back side up, pick up the top loop and put each loop on the knitting needle. You will get a series of beautiful air loops. You can cast on loops in the usual way, but then the edges of the bactus scarf will not look so impressive and elegant.
After casting on the outer loops, it’s time to take on our markers or paper clips. We need the following on the knitting needle: 12 loops, *hang up a marker, 11 loops*, repeat from asterisk to asterisk until the last 12 loops remain, put them on and start knitting.
IMPORTANT! The loops must be cast on from the end where we have the tail from the cast-on row, so that after putting on the last 12 loops, we have a working thread to the ball!
This way you will have 288 stitches cast on and 25 markers (paper clips) hung.
Let's start knitting:
In all rows the loops must be knitted. Work short rows using the wrap method at the end of each row.
Knit the first six loops around the right knitting needle, throwing a working thread over it, as shown in the photo, turn around and knit in reverse side to the edge. The edge loops at the end of the row should be knitted purlwise and removed at the beginning of the row.
Row 1: (knit) slip the first stitch, knit 5 stitches and wrap around the right needle;
Row 2 (purl) knit 6 stitches;
Row 3 (knit), remove the first one, knit 5 stitches, knit together with the next knit stitch, knit five more stitches and twist the right needle again as shown in the picture;
Row 4 (purl) knit 12 stitches;
5 row (front) remove the first one, knit all the loops to the wrap, remove the marker, knit the wrap with the next loop together, knit another 4 loops (total 17 loops are knitted) make a wrap;
Row 6 (purl) knit all stitches to the end of the row
7th row (front) remove the first one, knit all the loops until wrapping, knit the wrapping together with the next loop, knit another 5 loops and wrap;
Row 8 (purl) knit all stitches to the last two stitches. Knit the next loop first behind the front and then behind the back wall. (It turns out, we added one loop), knit the edge in the usual way.
Row 9 (knit) remove the first one, knit all the loops to the wrap, remove the marker, knit the wrap with the next loop together, knit 4 more loops, make a wrap;
Row 10 (purl) knit all stitches to the end of the row;
11th row (front) remove the first one, knit all the loops to the wrap, knit the wrap with the next loop together, knit another 5 loops and make a wrap;
Row 12 (purl) knit all stitches.
In every eighth row you should make additions - in order not to get confused and not to forget about the additions, reposition the marker or paper clips as you knit.
Repeat rows 5 to 12 until you have used all the cast-on stitches.
Decreases:
In the longest row, knit the last 6 stitches, turn around and knit back to the edge. In the next front row, do not finish these 6 loops, wrap around, turn around and knit to the end. In the next front row, do not knit 5 loops (count from the last wrap), wrap around, turn around and knit to the end.
Don't forget to make slits and increases in the right edge of the scarf, as indicated in the diagram. Slots must be made every 13 ribs, counting them along the front side.
On the purl row, bind off 11 stitches as usual (do not remove the first and second markers and do not transfer them from row to row until you have finished working on the last slot). You just need to count the vertical loops and place the next slot above the previous one.
Place the last remaining stitch on the left needle.
Using the twisting method, cast on 12 loops and through the last cast-on loop, pull the first loop from the right knitting needle, pulling the thread well. You will have 11 cast-on stitches, continuing to knit the row in the opposite direction, as you did before casting on the loops.
You will get a cozy Norwegian bactus, the size before washing is 135 cm long at the longest point, 67 cm wide at the widest point and 56 cm perpendicular to the cast-on row. Weight 141 grams, total 485 meters. After washing, the scarf may expand and expand.
