I don’t see YELLOW lightning too often. I do, however, see WHITE lightning and it sometimes shimmers, sparkles and sizzles, so I think it might be something I would make in white or a sparkly white that they have for Christmas with the silver filament in it. That would make the lightning really sparkle, sizzle or shimmer. Your choice of adjective describing what you see. Perhaps if you put the yellow and the sparkly white together, they might make it even more interesting. Just a thought and a suggestion. Thanks for the pattern.
Used this for a lightening mcqueen hat for my son. I only did the first row. Looks great, thanks
I’m looking for the round lightning bolt they use for the Chargers if anyone can help me please let me know ty
Re: lightening bolt applique – In R2 has there been a turn after R1? Don’t know where to start my Rd stitch.
Thank you!
Needed a good lightening bolt pattern for PJ Mask Catboy hat I’m working on. The pattern directions for the one included with the hat pattern was sooo not working for me … Thanks for such a straightforward pattern . I used Hobby Lobby I love This Yarn with a G hook, did only first round, and it’s PERFECT for a toddler hat !
This is my life right now!! I’m making a catboy mask, and the lightning bolts on the pattern are too small, and I need them to be longer. I’ll try this one!
