The star-lit lampshade is made of 15 star-woven pieces connected together.

Here are the stitches for the star knitting piece:

First of all, I will explain a key stitch method for crocheting star knitting pieces: 1 long needle clip 1 braid needle

1 long needle clip 1 braided needle = hang the thread on the needle, insert the needle into the next needle eye of the previous circle, pull out the hanging thread, hang the thread on the needle to form 1 loop and then hang the thread to complete the long needle according to the ordinary method. In other words, knit a lock stitch with the hanging thread first, and then knit a long stitch with the hanging thread.

Pull up a threaded ring.

Round 1: Knit 18 long stitches in the threaded loop.

The second circle: connect a thread of one color to one long needle of the previous circle, *4 1 long needles clip 1 braid needle, 5 braid needles, and clip 1 braid needle on each of the completed 4 1 long needles Knit 1 long stitch, skip 2 long stitches, repeat steps from * 5 times.

Note that as shown in the picture above, the braid needle of 1 long needle clip 1 braid needle is to crochet the lock needle at the place pointed by the pencil, and then hang the thread to knit the long needle to complete the stitching method of 1 long needle clip and 1 braid needle .

Third Circle: Change the thread of a different color. Chain knit from one 5 stitch braid stitch, 1 braid ladder stitch, *3 short stitch, 2 braid stitch, 3 short stitch, 1 short stitch on the next 3 long stitches, 1 short stitch on the next 1 long stitch and 1 Knit a short stitch on each of the 1 long needle clip and 1 braided needle, merge the two short stitches, and knit 1 short stitch on each of the next three 1 long needle clip 1 braided needle, repeat the steps from * 5 times, Finally, knit 1 pull-out needle at the first short stitch to narrow the needle.

After crocheting 15 pieces of knitting pieces, connect them with drawing needles.

The numbers in the sketch indicate the order in which the star weave is made. Connect the pieces at the tips of the star pieces, using a 1-pin puller needle instead of a 2-braid needle at each tip when connecting the pieces. The star weave pieces numbered 13, 14, and 15 are sewn with the star weave pieces numbered 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Hide thread ends.

Finish: When all the star weave pieces are connected to a ring, put this ring on the glass lampshade of the table lamp. Use two white threads (about 80cm) to pass through the tops of the stars on the upper and lower edges of the lampshade, and tie them tightly to hide the ends of the threads.
