THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE IT

Try out the size of the crochet hook first

and use a different size if necessary. You

crochet with the rope stitch, like this:

make 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc around 1 ch =

base stitch. See also the pattern on the

next page.

LAMP

End each round with 1 sl st in the

1st stitch of the round.

at uneven heights.

FINISHING

Reinforce the work with fabric stiffener

spray, this step is optional.

ELECTRICAL PARTS

Attach the plug to one end of the cord

and the strain relief with fitting to the

other end. Insert the plug from the inside

through the narrow part of the lamp

cover. Pull the cord as far as you like and

determine the height of the bulb in the

lamp. Cut a long strand of the yarn and

tightly pull the narrow part upward.

Use the yarn to tightly tie and wrap

the lamp you made to secure it at about

28 cm from the fitting. Keep in mind that

the work will slightly sag when it hangs.

Wind the cord around a stick or hang

several lamps from the ceiling at

different heights. Finally, screw in

the light bulb.
