For anyone wanting to use Dk...
I used 75g-ish, 5mm needles. I increased to 55sts before dec.
Final measurements are 142cm acrorss the length (straight edge) and 30cm from centre to point (widest bit)....not a bad size and it's well quick

Thank you all for the nice comments. I loved the colours too and would make more of these, such a nice simple knit and portable

Well, my second Baktus is allmost finished - i've run out of yarn with about 14 decreases still to go! I don't know how that happened, but i'm guessing either one ball was slightly longer or one is slightly shorter... or a mixture of the two! 
I tried to fudge the end with some blue and pink but no matter how i did the stripes it just didn't look right - you know?
I'm not sure whether to do another Baktus now or a domino type scarfy thing - i have an itch what wants scratching

Yay!! Our lovely Ladybird Linz dug out her leftovers of Fabel and found me some in the right colourway! It arrived this morning and now the scarf is properly finished
It feels good to have finished two projects off today,a nd both ones that gave me trubble!!
