Crochet Christmas Tree Skirt
Crochet a lovely Christmas tree skirt using one of Roseanna Beck's free crochet patterns. Red, green and white give this tree skirt a festive look that will match your other Christmas decor. This is a simple and fun pattern that will help add a touch of classic Christmas to your tree. Feel free to use whatever colors you'd like to help accent your decor scheme. I think it would look equally beautiful using white, silver, gold, and blue yarn. Crochet this simple Christmas tree skirt for yourself or someone you love.

Ms. Beck - Thank you. For this beautiful pattern. I am incurring some issues, on rounds 3 and 4, do you add any chains between stitich set, I.e., after 2dc, ch2, 2dc any chains here? Thank you for your time.

Hi Terry! It looks like no chains are added in between stitch sets. Please let me know if I can help with anything else!
