This circular knitting pattern makes a charming tree skirt or doily to accessorize a miniature or table-top Christmas Tree. Although designed as a Christmas tree skirt, you could also use this pattern to knit a round doily to put under a decorative bowl or lamp. This skirt or doily features bands of different stitch patterns and can be adjusted in size depending on your needs.

I intentionally did not make my tree skirt very Christmas-y because I wanted to use it under other things during the rest of the year. However, if you’d like to add more holiday cheer to your doily or skirt, there are a few ways to accomplish this:

1. You can knit each band of this pattern in a different color, alternating between red, green, and white as you choose.

2. You could knit this pattern in a yarn that has a thread of gold or silver that runs through it. This is a great way to add some holiday sparkle to your tree skirt.

3, This pattern would look really pretty knit in a yarn that has sequins or beads running through it. I’ve never knit with one of these yarns, but this pattern would be perfect for it!
