Swirls Lampshade Cozy
Knit & refresh your home lighting
Revitalise your home lighting! A lampshade cozy is a wonderfully unique way to use knitting to cover a boring lampshade and totally change the look of your room. Make this cozy using a soft shade for a bedroom, a bright fun color for a kids room, or a sophisticated color for an office.
Friends will want them too! Cozies make great housewarming and holiday gifts. The lamp size this cozy is designed for is available at most big box retailers (like Target) at an affordable price.
Whether you're a beginner or advanced knitter, the beautiful swirled lace pattern is a fun and interesting project. All you need is just one ball of yarn, and a few hours to work! Plus, the cozy is knit in the round, so there are no seams to sew and your lamp looks great from any angle. You may want to make one for every room!
In this Workshop, I'll walk you through each step with close-up photos. Plus, if you need help, JUST ASK! I am available to answer questions every step of the way.

Checkout my blog to get a peak at upcoming patterns - www.lavenderhillknits.blogspot.com My passion is creating knitting patterns that I can share with other knitters. I love the coziness, texture and visual design of knitted fabric. If I could cover everything in the house with knitting I would, and I'm workin' on it! My husband and two teenage boys are wonderfully supportive of my knitting habit and thankfully don't mind living among lots of yarn balls and knitting books. Patterns for knitted lampshade covers, lovely throws, knitted pillow covers and of course knitted curtains are all in the works so check out my projects as I work on them and then my patterns shop to try them out yourself!
