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.
