We begin to knit a triangular scarf-scarf. We select tools and supplies
Crocheting a bactus is easy, the main thing is to choose the right yarn, hook, and also be able to "read" the scheme of work.
Usually, the length of such a triangular scarf-scarf varies from 50-130 cm, and the width of the widest part can be 20-40 cm. Bactus can be large and small, it all depends on what and how it will be combined. You can make the product of any size that suits you. On average, about 200 g of yarn is required to make one bactus. As a rule, bactuses are made of cotton, wool and acrylic. We advise you to choose soft, pleasant to the touch yarn. We will use knitting threads Alize
lana gold (a mixture of acrylic and wool - 50% / 50%), with a density of 100 g / 240 m. The color of the yarn is pale peach. In addition to knitting threads, a suitable size hook is required for operation.
We perform a warm crochet bactus: schemes and description
We will knit the product according to the following fairly simple scheme.
The size of the scarf will be as follows: 166 x 37 cm. We will begin to crochet the bactus with a magic ring. Next, we will make three air loops (VP) necessary for lifting. Then we make two columns with one double crochet (CH). Turn over knitting. In the second row, we perform three lifting loops and 1 CH in the same base loop. Then we make two more double crochets. In the third row (overturning knitting), we knit three VP and 4 CH, and the last two
columns with a crochet are made in one loop. We start the fourth row with 3 air loops. We knit 1 CH in the same base loop. And then perform another 4 CH. We will start the fifth row with 3 VP and we will knit further according to the following pattern: "1 VP - 1 CH", alternating these elements. The next three rows (from the sixth to the ninth) will be executed, like the first four, using columns with one crochet and making the necessary increases in each row. We will make the tenth row openwork, using the alternation scheme of air loops and double crochets. When your product reaches the desired width, begin to make gradual reductions, thus forming a "triangle".
Crochet beautiful bactus: strapping patterns
When your scarf scarf is ready, you can begin to design the edge. You can make a strapping of bactus either with a thread of contrasting color, or use the yarn from which the base was knitted. The edges of the triangular scarf will be decorated with crochet posts and air loops. In the diagram, the binding is marked in green. First, run 2 single crochet, and then three VP. Next, we knit another 9 tbsp. b / n and again we carry out an element of three air loops. By analogy, we complete the binding of the entire product to the end. Here we have turned out such a beautiful, warm and soft bacchus with a crochet.

Crochet a bactus by starting with 21 squares. Then do another seven halves of the "square". We will need them to create a one-piece web of triangular shape. Then arrange the elements as shown in the following diagram.
Tie all the elements into a single fabric. To fasten squares and triangles, you can use single crochet posts by knitting them in the middle of the corner arches from the air loops. Also, to connect motifs, you can perform an additional row of mesh or zigzag. As a result, you get a triangular scarf scarf. It remains only to make the strapping of the product. Make it with crochet bars. Make ties at the ends of the bactus from the chains of VP. If you wish, decorate your scarf with fringe, knitted flowers or any interesting accessories.
