Crochet Pattern: How to Customize a MyBoshi Lamp

Saskia is back with “Crochet & Pimp.” She transforms a simple lamp (Ikea, Hektar) into a super cool piece for her home. It’s good enough to eat! She chooses MyBoshi No. 1 because of its thick, fuzzy texture and the yarn’s many lovely colors.

Material:

• 2 x MyBoshi No. 1, color 139
• 1 MyBoshi No. 1, colors: 151, 138, 161, 127, 156, 126, 136, 158, 142, 141
• Crochet Hook 6,5
