· written in US terms
· This tree skirt is made from the center out in turned rows. The rows increase to make the circular shape. The first section uses the lemon peel stitch and the outer section is the basket weave stitch.
· The basketweave (outer) section works up tighter than the lemon peel (inner) section. This will lead to some bunching in the inner section, but (for me) it lays nicely over the tree stand. To help lessen the amount of bunching a larger hook for the outer section can be used.
· The buttons are optional. If no buttons are desired, simply skip making the button holes. It’s indicated in the pattern when to do this.
Approx finished size:
Outer diameter: 49″
Inner diameter: 6.5″

So excited to be part of the crochet along. This tree skirt is absolutely breathtaking.
Thank you so much!!
Ready to go. Great project as I take on chemicals for cancer. My go will be to get 3 made for my girls.
So excited for this! My granddaughters just got their own places & will need tree skirts!
Thank you so much!
If i was to do multiple colors how would you divide the colors up. Each section a different color?
I think stripes would look good on the inner section 🙂
I love the look of the tree skirt. I’m always looking for patterns for these. My question is how do I get the pattern. I don’t do face book or any social media. Any information you can provide will be helpful.
It will be posted on my blog. You can sign up for my email list 🙂
Do we need to register for the tree skirt crochet along? I’m in!
No 🙂 Just follow along on my blog, facebook, or instagram
This tree skirt is so beautiful & I would love to make it. We are in a small home & have a compact tree. Would I find it possible to reduce the diameter of this skirt to fit about 10 inches smaller, or would that be too difficult?
Hi! No, I don’t think so. I would take out rows for the inner section.
Hi! Does the 2 in 1 stitch happen in aligned stitches or are they shifted each row?
It should line up 🙂
Thank you Breann for this crochet along. I look forward to trying to make this skirt. As always your crochet work is fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for all the beautiful projects we do together. I can wait to start.
Thank you so much!
Apparently everyone loved the color yarn you chose. It’s out of stock until the 22nd of January. Guess I have to go to a store and see what I can find that’s close to it. I have a week left to find something.
Oh no! You can use a different color 🙂 I also like Hobby Lobby’s cotton yarn.
This looks like it will be fun and the stitches in the skirt look wonderful
Thank you
Kay
Was eager to start but now I’m having problems with my row counts matching up to the pattern. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

This is such a lovely pattern, but I have only made scarves, fingerless mittens and disclosures ,(advanced beginner). A bit afraid to buy all the yarn since this is an intermediate pattern. What do you think please? Thank you.
Hi! Have you made a beanie before? The increasing is similar to a beanie.
How do i find your blog? I received part 1 and 4 only. Thank you,

Hi! Beautiful pattern! I would need to make it 72in in diameter. Where do you think I should increase more of – the interior rows or the basket weave? Thanks so much!
Hi! I think adding more interior rows would work best 🙂
