Snowy Hills Crochet Lamp Cover

The Crochet Votive Cover Tutorial I made last winter continues to be the number one thing that brings people to my blog. There seems to be a big resurgence of interest in it lately, I assume due to winter coming.

I decided to create a new pattern. This lamp cover is made to fit the Ikea Grono Lamp.
The Snowy Hills Crochet Lamp Cover is easy to make. You will be able to complete it in an afternoon, while sipping hot cocoa and watching movies. I hope you have as much fun making it as I did designing it. Please let me know if you run into any problems with the pattern and I will revise it.



You will need:
Bernat Softee Baby Yarn in White
Crochet Hook E
Ikea Grono Lamp
