This is a crochet pattern and not a finished item.

Introducing Buggables: Lightning Bug - A Huggable Bug!

Educational, adorable, and unique! A lot of fun to make, gift, and snuggle! Features basic yarn changes, simple construction, detailed pattern with lots of photos to help and the perfect project for that skein of reflective yarn!! Pattern also includes a printable gift tag/card with a little science about Lightning Bugs and bioluminescence!

Note from Designer: I now use Tulle to make the wings, blanket stitching with #2 weight yarn over fishing line and #4 weight yarn to edge. I have added a couple of images of this.
