This is an Easy – Intermediate level pattern, written in US terminology. Pictures and graphics are also included to help you visually understand the creation process. This tree skirt measures at 17” from first to last row and has a circumference of 125”.

You will also be using these Easy to Intermediate skills when working up this pattern: Changing colors, tassel making, and the Jacob’s Ladder Stitch.

It is also good to keep in mind that this pattern uses very specific materials to achieve the perceived design aesthetic. Do not become discouraged if these particular materials are unavailable to you—your First Noel Tree Skirt will still look amazing using substitutions! When finding great substitutions, always reference the section on gauge as a starting point, especially as it pertains to yarn weight categories. Let this quest for new materials be a chance for you to grow creatively as a maker!

And now my dearest magical makers I hope you enjoy working up this pattern, adding magic to your stitches in your own way!
