How to bind bactus knitting needles?

Triangular scarves look very nice, and bactus, connected with their own hands - even more so. Bactus looks more like a kerchief. Such scarves are worn by both women and men. And this product is knitted much easier than you can imagine. In fact, in order to connect the bactus, you only have to be able to tie the front loop, and also add and subtract the loops. Even an aspiring needlewoman can handle this task.

How to tie a scarf with bactus knitting - a master class

Threads for scarf-scarves can be taken any, but best look bactus, made of melange yarn. Spokes should be chosen based on the thickness of the threads themselves.

To create a bactus, we use the garter stitch: all the hinges are facial. Now you will understand how this is done in practice. So, we present to your attention a small number of knitting knitting bactus knitting needles.

1. So, for starters, type 4 loops on the spokes.
2. Turn the spoke over and start tying the facial loops. Note that all the hinges must also be facial. Thanks to this, the edge of the product will be elastic and beautiful.
3. So tie 4 rows, and in the 5th make the first increase. After the 2nd loop, grasp the thread passing through the previous row between the 2nd and 3rd loop. This technique is sometimes called "from the broach", because the thread should be stretched and crossed before putting it on the spoke.
4. Tie another loop from the formed loop. Now you should have 5 loops on the spokes.
5. According to this description knit bactus knitting needles to the desired length, making the same increase in each 4-th row. If you want to make the bactus narrower, then you can add loops less often - for example, through 6 rows. Also pay attention to the following nuance: all surplus loops should be on one side (in the figure - on the right).
6. The center of the bactus can be made sharp, or it can be more rounded. To do this, in the first case, you need to make an increase, and after 4 rows start, on the contrary, reduce the loops. In the second case, to round the middle part, tie 10 central rows without adding.
7. Reduction (reduction) of loops are made even easier than increases. In each 4-th row, the second and third loops should be tied together.
8. Reductions should go on the same edge as the increase. As a result, the edge of your bactus will be smooth and neat. Continue knitting with cuts until there are only 4 loops left on the spoke; they should be closed.
