Lacy Lampshade and Knitting Pattern

Description

The Lacy Lampshade was designed for the Simply Knitting Magazine issue 221 which went on sale on the 9th February 2022.

A lacy lampshade knitting pattern is a little bit unusual, but I think knitted lampshades are so contemporary and they do make a room feel cosy.

When I was designing the lampshade I knew I wanted to have lot of holes in it to allow the light through more in some places than other, and this works to great effect when the lamp is lit. And the colour of the yarn used means that the lampshade give a lovely warm light with an orange glow.

To make the lampshade you first knit the panel, and then using a lampshade kit you can assemble the lampshade. There is a help video on Youtube called 'TeaCosyFolk Help Video For a Knitted Lampshade' to show you the whole process. Once you have seen it done it's easier than you'd expect and it gives you a professional finish.

At first, knitting a lampshade sounds a bit outrageous, but when you research it more, you find that there are lots of designer stores that are actually selling knitted lampshades at crazy prices. So get a head of the curve and make a statement with an amazing new lampshade that will bring you joy and that designer look at a fraction of the price.


Please note; if you buy the lampshade, it does not come with the lamp base.

Light up your life with knitting.
