Crocheting a Bright Baktus: Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners

To begin crocheting, prepare your yarn and an appropriately

To begin crocheting, prepare your yarn and an appropriately sized crochet hook. Any yarn will work, depending on the season when you plan to wear the scarf (I used a blend—half wool, half acrylic—as I plan to wear this scarf in October and November).

You can crochet the scarf in a single color or combine several, working 4-6 rows with each. By the way, this is very convenient if you have accumulated leftover yarn of the same weight. 😉

Instructions: Chain 5

Instructions

Chain 5 with the crochet hook and join into a ring with a slip stitch.

Make 6

Chain 6 and work 3 dc into the ring. Chain 3 and work 3 dc again. Chain 2 and work 1 dc. The first row is complete:

Chain 6 Again

Again, chain 6, then work 3 dc into the ch-2 space. Chain 1 more; into the ch-3 space, work 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc.
Chain 1, work 3 dc into the next space, then chain 2 and work 1 tr into the same space.

Step 5

Ch 6, 3 dc into the 1st space, ch 1, 3 dc under the ch of the previous row, 3 dc, ch 1, into the ch-3 space work 3 dc, ch 3, and 3 dc. We have completed the corner of the baktus.

Then chain 1 and work 3 dc under the ch of the previous row. Now chain 2 and work 1 tr into the same space.

Continue crocheting following the same pattern. At the beginning of the row, work 6 ch; at the end of the row, work 2 ch and 1 tr. Into the bottom corner, work 3 dc, ch 3, and 3 dc, and into each ch-1 space, work 3 dc. After working 3 stitches, chain 1.

Here is what it looks like:

Edging the Finished Baktus: 1

Edge the finished baktus: work 1 sc into each stitch; into the chain spaces, work 1 sc, ch 5, 1 sc.

And That's

That's it! 😉
