If you want to bring cozy and home-sweet-home atmosphere into your home interior, one of the best ways is to bring crochet items as many as possible. One idea that we especially liked was the crocheted lampshade. Start with crocheting around the larger end of the lampshade and continue to crochet as many rows you need to complete the whole. When you’re done with this step, fix the hose on the lampshade with an adhesive.
