Crocheted Lampshade Round-Up To Inspire!

There is something about crocheted lampshades that is just so wonderful, and winter seems like the perfect time to add at least one to your home decor. You can choose a project that is quick to whip up or something more detailed depending on your preference, and of course, a crocheted lamp shade works equally well on tabletop and floor lamps as well as on hanging lights. I've put together a selection of some of the best crocheted lamp shades out there, and while some of the images are for inspiration, others have links to actual patterns, so take a look and enjoy!

Single crocheted stripes inspiration here, and sweet granny square lampshade inspiration here.

You can't get much cuter than simple single crocheted or half-double crocheted pastel stripes, or granny squares on a ground of white. The first one is from The Netherlands, and the second from Sweden, and they're both straighforward to make and fabulous looking! Just be sure to make the shade cover a little smaller than the shade size so that it fits snuggly.

Crocheted lamp shades can be bright and playful like this granny stripes version (which is a great stash buster) or textured and elegant in a neutral color. You decide! And if you're wondering how to style the other lighting in a room that has a statement making crocheted lamp shade, that also depends on your personal taste. You can go sleek and modern or industrial and edgy with fixtures that look like vintage pendant lights,

I do love the look of a crocheted lamp shade on a vintage lamp, just so sweet, though if you are looking for a similar effect for a considerably smaller time investment, take a look at my crocheted lamp shade trim and simply dress up your lampshade without actually covering it.

Beautiful chunky wool works up quickly and looks so cozy, not to mention looks great in a modern or rustic interior, as does the simple creme version. If you're ever craving a little bit of cuteness you can always add a little stripe of color or some crocheted trim.

My personal taste in crocheted lampshades is either brights or neutrals, but if you just love earth tones, you can certainly use those colors to make something that suites you. And that little lampshade on the right is a quickie, another project to get you started!
