When repeated, the Streak of Lightning block creates a zig-zag chevron design. When close together, as they are in this pattern, the effect is whimsical and fun, and almost plays tricks on your eyes. Anzula’s Cricket DK is dreamy to knit with and a lovely next-to-skin yarn choice: perfect for a pair of playful fingerless mittens.
