The pattern is written in us terms.
You need to put a stitch marker at the last stitch of each round to mark the end of the round.
YOU SHOULD ALSO USE AN LED LAMP TO AVOID OVERHEATING!!! AN DON’T LEAVE IT FOR PROLONGED DURATION UNATTENDED
Although I made this with lampshade that have unequal top and bottom diameter, I think it would look even better with one that have equal bottom and upper diameters.Thats why I included directions for both ways. So if you made one let me see it!!
It’s a good idea to try it on the lampshade every while to make sure it fits perfectly especially if you are increasing.
