The Crochet Gingerbread Afghan / Tree Skirt started off as a request from Yarnspirations to develop a Christmas Tree Skirt. Applying my own flare and wishes into a skirt I would want for myself.

For me, I prefer a skirt without a slit and put it onto the stand first, then insert through the hole of the skirt and into the stand. For some of you, it’s unthinkable.

During development, there became a conversation about whether to slit it or leave it as is. However, by the time I got so far into this, to slit it would have to be redesigned completely due to the texture of the stitches.

In this project, there are:

Shells
Front and back post assorted stitches.
Criss crosses.
Popcorn.
Back loops.
Faux popcorn.
Extended stitches for overlays.
