Thankyou I really needed this for a headband I am making
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to help!
DeleteThis is so awesome.. I'm learning how to read patterns.. but I seem to be getting confused once I reach row 7's directions. Am I just going across? But it seems like theres something more technical in that row and rows 12 & 16.. Help!! Please and thank you!!

ReplyDeleteNo problem! Happy to help! In the rows you mentioned you continue to turn your work and go back across like you have on the previous rows. The major difference is you make your first SC in the second chain from the hook, and on the next chain and then in all the SC across. This is how you will create the jagged shape of the lightening bolt. As for Row 16, just try to follow the pattern carefully. I Hope this helps! Happy Hooking!

Ok I will try.. Thank you so much for the speedy response!! I will let you know when and if I have succeeded!!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS AGAIN!!
I'm a beginner to crocheting and I was confused by row three because it said not to turn at chain one
ReplyDeleteSorry to be getting back to you so late. In row three you turn, but you DO NOT chain one. So you still turn, but you don't make a turning chain. This is going to help you shape your bolt. Again, I'm sorry for the late reply! Hope you were able to get through the pattern. Cheers!
DeleteThis was perfect for a flash hat I was making! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Your pattern was perfect for the lightning mc queen hat, that I have to make!

ReplyDeleteThank you for such a great post you wrote here and I'm very obliged to write an article here on the benefit of herbal herbs.I am 29 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer, ease of treatment and a similar story, except for my first acceptance as a rejection of herbal medicine. I was not part of the Perseid movement and did not really build relationships with any of them, I just believed in their operation. I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heals my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years. Dr. Itua herbal medicine is made of natural herbs, with no side effects, and easy to drink.
