Product Details

As summer came on at our old farm in rural Virginia, lightning bugs would blink lazily against the darkening trees as the day slipped off elsewhere. Inspired by their elliptical arcs, Lightning Bugs is knit from the top down in garter stitch. Gathered elongated stitches make the ‘bugs,’ and slipped stitches form the dots.

Skills required:

  • Increasing 
  • Slipping stitches 
  • Yarn overs 
  • Short rows 
  • A photo tutorial is included for the ‘bug’ stitches.

Yardage details:

  • 685 yards of the main (background) color 
  • 300 yards off the contrasting (bug) color
