DIY: How To Make This Crocheted Lamp Cozy// Free Pattern!

Hello there & Happy Tuesday to you! This lamp shade has been sitting on my desk, entirely bare and entirely boring that I decided it needed to spruced up! This DIY was put to very good use with helping to create a bright and colorful environment for my desk space.  So I've decided to still use my challenge in only utilizing yarn from my used/scrap bin of yarn to create a lamp shade cozy!
Ingredients:    Crochet Hook>>K101/2-6.50MM
Scissors
Scrap Yarn used>>1 Skein of (hot pink), 1 Skein of (turquoise), 
1 Skein of (canary yellow) of Red Heart Super Saver Yarn and 1 Skein (off white) of

Stitch guide
SC= single crochet  
 HDC= half double crochet
DC= double crochet
SS= slip stitch
ST(S)= stitch(es)
CH= chain 

YO= yarn over 
Step 1
Starting with the hot pink yarn.
CH 80
Row 1: HDC the entire row, in all of the STS. At the end of the Row. SS, cut of yarn and sew in the edges.
Row 2: Insert off white yarn, CH 3, skip the first ST, DC into the following ST, skip the following ST, DC into the following. *Repeat this method until the end of the Row.  SS, cut of yarn and sew in the edges.
Row 3: Insert turquoise yarn, into the first white ST, CH 3, into the opening of the white yarn, YO two times insert your hook into the space, pull through the yarn and CH 1. You will repeat this method until the end of the row.
 Row 4: Insert canary yellow yarn, into the first white ST, CH 3, into the opening of the white yarn, YO two times insert your hook into the space, pull through the yarn and CH 1. You will repeat this method until the end of the row.
Row 5: Insert hot pink yarn, into the first white ST, CH 3, into the opening of the white yarn, YO two times insert your hook into the space, pull through the yarn and CH 1. You will repeat this method until the end of the row.
Row 6: Insert white yarn, into the first white ST, CH 3, into the opening of the white yarn, YO two times insert your hook into the space, pull through the yarn and CH 1. You will repeat this method until the end of the row. 
Row 7: SC the entire row, SS, cut off the yarn to sew in the edges.

Note: For this lamp I had to create this piece two times because I wanted to keep the middle detail of this specific lamp. If you want to create a full crocheted lamp shade, please continue past Row 6 alternating colors! 
Step 2
I decided to sew the crocheted pieces directly to the lamp shade, for a snug fit, without applying glue or any other holding.

Atelier Marie-Lucienne: Tutorial „Early Valentine“ Hearts - Anleitung Herz...

Tutorial „Early Valentine“ Hearts - Anleitung Herzen „Früher Valentin“

 


Dear friends, 


I had not come round to writing the pattern of the hearts of the „Early Valentine“ wreath in my last post yet, but I've got it ready now.
 

Notes:

  • I started each new round with a standing stitch (no chains) and made an invisible join at the end
  • Make two halves (will be joined in round 6)
  • Even though I used Gründl Cotton Fun (and a N°3,5 hook), the hearts can be crocheted in any yarn you like (using the corresponding hook).

 

 Materials:

  • crochet hook
  • yarn sewing needle
  • yarn in different shades
  • fiberfill

 

Abbreviations:

  • ch = chain stitch
  • dc = double crochet
  • dtr = double treble
  • htr = half treble
  • loop = loop made of ch
  • mc = magic circle
  • ss = slip stitch
  • tr2tog = 2 tr together

 

Instructions:

Start with MC
Round 1: 8x (tr2tog + ch 2)
  
Round 2: 8x (ch 3 in each loop)
  
Round 3:
  • it might be easier to start at the pointy end of the heart (even though I did not as you can see in the pictures); look at the following picture though for finding the right stitch to start from
  • (tr + ch 1 + dtr + ch 1 + tr) + 2 tr + 2x 1tr + 2 tr + 2x 1tr + 2 tr + 2x 1tr + 2 tr + (tr + htr) + dc + (htr + tr) + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr

Round 4:
  • again it might be easier to start at the pointy end = insert hook into dtr
  • (dc + ch 2 + dc) + 2x 1 dc + 5x 1 htr + 4x 1 tr + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr + 1 tr + (tr + htr) + ch 1 + skip 1 stitch + dc (in dc) + ch 1 + skip 1 stitch + (htr + tr) + 1 tr + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr + 4x 1 tr + 5x 1 htr + 2x 1 dc
Round 5:
  • decorative strips are made out of ss
  • look at picture for orientation
  • make one side at the time

Round 6:
  • join both sides with dc in each stitch, except:
    - skip both ch at the top of the heart 
    - (dc + ch 2 + dc) in both loops
    - do not forget to stuff the heart!

   

Happy crocheting!

  

P.S.: If you'd come across a mistake – please let me know!
P.S.2: I'll keep in touch!

Already made some more hearts...
