Category: Knitting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Retro / Vintage, Cute, Whimsical


Materials

Caron Simply Soft

What was your inspiration?

I made this a little bigger to fit a Target medium lampshade. It's a little looser at the top than at the bottom since the shade is tapered, but it still looks nice. I cast on 154 stitches and made 4 extra lace repeats.

What are you most proud of?

Getting this done through CONSTANT Caron Simply Soft knots & snarls! Next time, make a center-pull ball!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Pay close attention to your yarn overs and count your stitches often!
