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!

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.
