Rockin’ around the Knitmas tree skirt!
Inspired by the ugly metal legs of my Christmas tree and my super chunky yarn stash. In this pattern you can find a chunky simple version of a Christmas tree skirt. This is a quick and rewarding knit to cherish every Christmas and great to gift your friends and family!

The pattern provides instructions for four different sizes, but you can adapt your Knitmas tree skirt to your own tree measurements. For this knit you will use circular needles with a long cable (the longer the cable, the more comfortable knit). It’s knitted flat (back and forth) and washing and blocking is essential for optimal results! Please read this pattern carefully before getting started to make sure you understand the structure and the techniques required.

How to adapt the pattern:
If you would like to knit the tree skirt and the size you wish to knit is not included in this patten, you can easily adapt it by simply measuring the diameter that you would like and dividing it by 2 to calculate the radius. Follow the pattern until you reach the radius measurement desired and remember to adjust the quantity of yarn required accordingly.
