This knit kerchief or scarf is a thoughtful modification of Strikkelise’s beloved Baktus pattern, offering a longer, more generous version that’s perfect for versatile styling. Worked on the bias with simple increases and decreases, it creates a gentle, elongated triangle that drapes beautifully around the neck or shoulders. The longish shape allows it to be worn as a cozy scarf, wrapped several times for warmth, or as a stylish kerchief with an effortless, casual flair. Thanks to its flexible construction, this pattern can easily be expanded into a large, statement-making shawl—just keep knitting until it reaches your desired size or you run out of yarn. Suitable for any yarn weight and ideal for showcasing hand-dyed or self-striping yarns, this pattern is a relaxing and rewarding knit with endless color and texture possibilities. Whether you’re after a light accessory or a cozy wrap, this adaptation of the Baktus is a go-to project for knitters who love simplicity with a creative twist.
