This is one of my favorites for a gift...it's the Baktus scarf...google for this simple pattern. It's knit in garter stitch and uses Yarn over and K2 tog to form it's elongated triangular shape. I've knitted it from simple sock yarn...blended sock and lace weight mohair and for this one a sequined yarn for my "fashionista" pal. It can be tied in front with the point in back between the shoulder blades, wrapped around the neck or tied so that the point falls off one shoulder...simple and elegant...my pal Marilyn is so hard to buy for. I decided to surprise her with this "sequined" fun item.

Beautiful work - and luscious yarn with the sparkles
Thank you for sharing the name - I've searched Google, and the patterns are endless - good in one way - but where do we get the time to knit all those lovely patterns we like :roll:

Hi: I am working on my second Baktus scarf. They are soooo much fun to make!!! What a great idea to put on sequins. Did you sew them on after the scarf was finished??? It looks wonderful. I am planning to make afew more over the summer, using sock yarn and no. 3 needles, for Christmas! Happy knitting!! Jean
