Lamp Shade Cover
Use double strand throughout.
Starting at lower edge with Skipper Blue, make a chain long enough to fit around shade. Join with sl st, being careful not to twist.
Ch 2, half dc in same place as sl st and in each ch around. Drop Skipper Blue, insert hook in first half dc, draw a loop of Robinette through half dc and loop on hook, thus changing color (always change color in this manner—wrong side of work is right side of lamp shade).
Ch 2, half dc in first half dc and in each half dc around. Change color.
Work as for 2nd rnd, decreasing 2 half dc on rnd—to dec 1 half dc, work off 2 half dc as 1 half dc.
Repeat 2nd and 3rd rnds alternately until piece is deep enough to fit lamp shade, ending with Skipper Blue stripe. Break off Robinette.
Sc in first half dc and in each half dc around. Join and break off.
