Peppermint stripes
Baktus Scarf
by Strikkelise
Pattern source: Strikkelise's patterns
Yarn: Elann Peruvian Baby Cashmere, about 50 grams of both red and white
Needles: 3,5 mm
Modifications: I moved the shaping from the beginning of the row to the end of the row, just to keep the edge where I changed colours neater
I'm ridiculously happy with this little gem of a scarf. It's just everything it needs to be – small enough to wear comfortably under the coat, yet very warm, and cute and stylish too! I feel chic wearing it. French, somehow. Quite an achievement from a simple little scarf don't you think.
I'm already planning my next Baktus(es): maybe a navy blue and white one, in cotton for summer… and perhaps one with stronger colours, like green and violet? Hehee. I'm in stripy garter stitch heaven.
I want to thank all of you who left so nice and encouraging comments on my previous post. It's a good thing that there are so many of us worriers out there, just think if I had to worry about the whole world all by myself! Seriously though, your kind words meant a lot to me, and really helped too. Thank you.

This scarf is really cute, and it looks like it's the perfect size, too!
I love this - stripes and garter stitch! Can you tell us more about how you keep the edges neat when you are knitting stripes?
Oi miten sievä huivi! Niin keväisen kevyen näköinen.
It's very stylish! I see the 'French' in it.
This is so cute! I love it! You wear it very well.
Oui, chic comme une française. The gamine haircut doesn't hurt either. I love your new scarf!
I love your scarf - so many options too! I imagine it with a ruffle like your garter stitch shawl!
I love this design. It's exactly the reason why I like to knit small scarves - they fit so neatly under a coat, and actually keep me warmer! You definitely look French in the photo!
that scarf is adorable! i want to make one for my husband.
It's chic simple! Thanks for pointing us to the pattern :)
A lovely scarf! It looks so nice in your photos!
All those troubles are less than half if you have a good knitting project on! I'm so sorry to see my daughter's lovesorrows because she doesn't knit. Instead of knitting she is singing - quite good issue also!
Tykkään! Hauska malli ja taas kerran herkut värit. Kelpaa kutsua kevättä!
lovely!!!! great pictures too!
Oiskohan tämä nyt se malli jota kaipasin, kun olen miettinyt uutta huivia villakangasjakun kaveriksi.
Kyllä siinä on ripaus ranskalaisuutta
love it, love it, already told you on Ravelry but I repeat myself ;o)
I hesitate for mine between fushia and orange and black and white...
maybe I'll have to make 2 ;o)
What a charming little scarf. You do look quite stylish wearing it - tres chic!
What a gorgeous scarf. I ran right over and got a copy of the pattern. I have some great self-striping yarn that would work perfectly for this!
Wau! yksinkertainen on kaunista!
I love your version of this scarf, lovely stripes!
Beautiful! I was inspired to start one of my own, after seeing your striped version!
Voi miten kaunis! Tulee varmasti hyvä päivänaloitus kun vetäisee tuon kaulaan.
Pitää vielä kommentoida edellistä kirjoitustasi näin jälkikäteen, kun en ehtinyt jättää siihen ajoissa kommenttia: ihana kirjoitus. Tunnistin itseni. Kun huolettaa, neulominen on hyvää terapiaa, välillä myös jonkinlainen siirtymäriitti (kun poikani, nyt 4 v., aloitti päiväkodin ummikkona vieraskielisessä ryhmässä, oli pakko neuloa lapselle villatakki ja ommella kassi päiväkotiin... koska äitiä huoletti niin paljon, ja itsetehty neulehan siirtää lämpöä ja rakkautta mukanaan). Onnekseni olen huomannut, että oma vanheneminen auttaa murehtimiseen - pikkujuttuja vatvoo nykyään vähemmän kuin ennen. Toivon sinulle huoletonta ja aurinkoista kevättä. Tykkään kovasti blogistasi.
Who needs to go to Paris when you have a scarf like that? It's very cute. I think I may need to copy your striped version.
I really like your scarf, both the colors and style! I might do one, too... Thanks for sharing! /Annika
You should be ridiculously happy! It's fantastic :)
Love it! Very cute, and perfect colors- who doesn't like peppermint candy?
Happy knitting-

A very nice scarf, and I know the pattern very well. :o)
I really like your blog, you make beautiful things and take good photos as well. Found my way in here because of your Hellborus Scarf pattern, I juste made one.
A little surprise for you in my blog...
Kaunis blogi, kävin tutustumassa.
Hello! You don't know me but I have been inspired by your hats for the Finnish Red Cross and I've made several for the Relay for Life which raises money for cancer victims. So I've nominated you for an inspiration award! Check it out at www.resipsaknitDOTblogspotDOTcom
I agree! This litte scarf IS cute and stylish indeed!
Siulle on jotain miun blogissa! Ja tää on ihana huivi <3
Pahuksen baktus. Neuloin jo yhden ja koen tarvitsevani kymmenen lisää!
Pidän sua sitten syyllisenä jos näitä kertyy mulle tuhansia.
This scarf is so incredible. It has inspired me and so far I have made 2 Baktus scarves, one in red and white like yours. Hope you don't mind.

I love how whimsical and fun this is! Stripes are so cool...I am going through a phase myself. Great work as always : )
I like to knit small scarves - they fit so neatly under a coat, and actually keep me warmer!

This is so beautiful! Great colors...
Your work is lovely! I'm hoping you have a pattern for the crocheted bag you created in July 2005. If you have an Etsy page or can otherwise provide me with the pattern, I would be very grateful. Thanks, and best wishes.
Hi Terhi, I have just joined Ravelry and am a beginner knitter. I found your work when searching for slipper/socks to knit. I compliment you not only on your beautiful work but fantastic photography! Would you mind if I asked a few silly questions about how to make the 8 square socks? Toika (Swiss, living in the UK)
Terhi! Where are you? I'm sure many of us is beginning to feel a bit worried about you. Hope everything's okay.
