First BAKTUS ended up a SKINNY hehehehe still wearable but not exactly what l was hoping for so l went back to the drawing board for the pattern and realised that because l was using a DC and that is about 1/2" in depth l was reaching the centre before l'd increased enough by using the increase every 4th row......
So BAKTUS MARK2
l used the same 5mm hook another DK and DC but increased every 2nd row
from the centre pic above and the bottom right you can see the difference in width!!
Not quite finished it but feel sure this increase change has made the difference l was looking for
oh and l used a very soft multi Acrylic so no itchy neck!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHRYN.....working on the bag so cya soon with your creation
hugs have a fab day xx
Never Let Go Of Hope
One day you will see that it all has finally come together.
What you have always wished for has finally come to be.
You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself,
"How did I get through all of that?"
Just never let go of hope.
Just never quit dreaming.
And never let love depart from your life.

Hi Suz, I'm like a couple of others in that I don't know what you're talking about. Could you explain a Baktus to us? Maybe tell us how to make one? Jeanne is a super talented crocheter, and I'd like to see what she might come up with.
