I created this lampshade cover because I couldn’t find one that was the look I wanted at an affordable price. The lighting kit was only $20 at Lowe’s and I purchased the lampshade at a thrift store for $1.50. I was infinitely happier with the cost, and I love the simple beauty it adds to my room. It’s a lovely statement piece that won’t overwhelm your space! You can see the entire tutorial for the smaller lampshade on my YouTube channel, linked within the pattern.
Supplies Needed:
-Size 3 DK weight yarn, approx. 600-650 yds for larger pendant and 250-300 yds for a smaller lamp. Yardage is approximate since it will vary by the size of your lampshade. (I do not recommend using a heavier weight yarn for this pattern. I also advise you to use cotton or cotton blends per fire hazard recommendations)
-Size H 5.0 mm hook
-Wooden beads, size 25 mm for larger pendant, 20 mm for smaller. (Optional. Amount needed will vary by your stitch counts)
-cylinder or square/rectangular lamp shade in the size of your choice (NOTE: Shade can have a slight increase in diameter towards the base of approximately 0.5-1”, but otherwise, needs to be uniform in shape for this cover to work)
-scissors, yarn needle, tape measure, piece of cardboard 6” wide
