Cablelight Lampshade Knitting Pattern

Knit your self a sphistocated cosmpololitan lampshade with the Cablelight Lampshade Knitting Pattern.

The Cablelight lampshade is a modern looking lampshade that is made from a knitted panel that is turned into a lampshade with a 20cm drum lampshade kit - that you can buy at craft stores.

Usually cables are knitted from the bottom upwards; but the lampshade has the cable so that it travels around the lampshade, and it has the effect of leading the eye.

When not in use the lampshade looks contemporary, its decorative and detailed with interest, but when its lit it takes on a whole new dimension, the light shining through the lampshade highlights every stitch and it looks fabulous.

The lampshade is knitted in Stylecraft Special Aran. There are lots of shades to choose from so you will be sure to find a shade that compliments your decor.

Once you have knitted the cable panel, you will need to use a 20cm Drum Lampshade Kit to assemble the lampshade. The kit contains everything you need to make the lampshade. It's really easy and they provide step by step instructions for every stage with lots of photos so you can see what you should be doing. The knitting pattern also has helpful tips and photos for building the lampshade with the knitted panel.

Please note that the lampshade kit does not include the lamp base, only the parts to make a lampshade.

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Cablelight lampshade.
