Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with the Red Yarn: Create a magic ring. This will be the foundation of your lightning bolt.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull tight to close the ring.
3. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each sc around. You should have a total of 12 sc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch* - repeat this pattern around. You should have 18 sc at the end of this round.
5. Switch to Blue Yarn: For Round 4, work *2 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch* - repeat this pattern around. You should have 24 sc at the end of this round.
6. Round 5: Work 1 sc in each sc around. This will help to stabilize the shape.
7. Switch to Silver Yarn: For Round 6, work *3 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch* - repeat this pattern around. You should have 30 sc at the end of this round.
8. Round 7: Work 1 sc in each sc around. This will complete the body of the lightning bolt.
9. Finish Off: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using the tapestry needle.
10. Create the Lightning Bolt Shape: Fold the crocheted circle in half and sew the edges together, forming a zigzag pattern to mimic the lightning bolt shape.
11. Make the Necklace Strap: You can either attach a pre-made chain or crochet a chain of 100 stitches using your chosen yarn. Attach the strap to the top of the lightning bolt.
