PATTERN NOTES
This tree skirt is made of hexagons that are individually knit from the center outward and then seamed together. An edging is added after the seaming process.

The blue snowflake “lines” seen in the outer edges of each hexagon are made by slipping stitches.

Slip all stitches purlwise with the yarn held to the wrong side of the work.
