This super little Baktus not only looks stunning but is comfortable and warm to wear

and knits up a dream. The main body is simple garter stitch and the lace border is

included and not knitted on later, enabling you to whizz along once you have the

pattern set. An ideal gift for any discerning female family member or friend OR

indeed a treat for yourself! It takes just one skein of any of my sock yarns that

are 400 metres in length making it an economical project. The yarn I used here is

my Walkabout Sock 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon colourway Mulled Wine.

MATERIALS

1 x 100 grams Woolhunter Walkabout Sock Yarn 400 metres in length.

TOP TIP: It would be possible also to make this Baktus in any other of my

sockweight yarns PROVIDING they are at least 400 METRES in length. However, be

aware that as yarn types differ i.e. alpaca, silk, cashmere etc, some yarns will knitfurther than others so you may need more than one skein. It would be advisable

therefore to reach your mid-point of the Baktus when you have at least 50 grams of

yarn remaining ENDING ON A 12TH ROW OF THE PATTERN in order that you do not

run out of yarn.

TENSION:

Not particularly important but around 8 sts and 8 rows per inch. This is a very stretchy

garment due to the nature of garter stitch.

NEEDLES

1 x Pair Needle size 3.75 mm/US Size 5 needles.

ABBREVIATIONS:
