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:
• Main color - 685
• Contrasting color - 300
Sample knit in Skeinny Dipping Merino Single in ‘Salt Marsh’ and ‘Cease and Desist.’
