Materials:
One sorrowful lampshade in need of a cover
Worsted weight cotton yarn in color desired for the shade body and a small amount of a contrasting color for the edging
H Hook
A length of Ό ribbon to compliment your yarn choice. This should measure the distance around the top of your lampshade plus 18
This pattern can be adapted to any size shade.
1. Measure the depth of the shade. This is how long you will make the piece.
2. Measure around the bottom edge of the shade. This will determine how long to make you starting chain.
3. The pattern stitch is a multiple of 9s plus 4 stitches. When you have made your chain to the required length, count your stitches and add or subtract (only a few stitches) to fit the pattern repeats. Its better to add if possible, because any overlap will be taken into account by gathering.
The sample was made for a shade 7 deep, with a bottom circumference of 25.
Lampshade Cover:
Row 1: Chain the required # of stitches you need to fit around the bottom of your shade. Keep in mind the stitches must be in multiples of 9, then add 4 more chains.
Row 2: Work dc in 4th chain from hook and in each stitch across.
Row 3: Chain 3 (counts as 1st dc here and throughout). Work 1 dc in each of next 3 stitches. Skip 2 stitches. *Work 2 dc, 3 trc, and 2 dc in next stitch. Skip 2 stitches. Work 1 dc in each of the next 4 stitches.* Repeat across.
