Poinsettia Christmas Tree Skirt pattern

The Poinsettia Christmas Tree Skirt becomes a festive backdrop for the traditional Christmas tree.

Eight impressive, red poinsettias  become the focal point of our Christmas tree skirt. They appear to float on a field of snow with subtle evergreen accents throughout.

Crocheted separately, each of the eight octagonal motifs join to form a large open ring. Wide, striped borders follow the angular shape of the inner and outer edges of the ring to create an interesting background. Shaped to hug the tree trunk, the inner ring hides the unsightly Christmas tree stand and platform.

The opening in the skirt makes it easy to position under the tree while a simple cord draws the skirt around the trunk. Complete the project by adding red tassels to each of the points on the outer edge. Our poinsettia Christmas tree skirt may soon become a favorite holiday treasure.

Acrylic yarn in worsted weight (yarn weight #4) makes the Christmas tree skirt both beautiful and durable. Red Heart yarns come in a variety of holiday colors and are both machine washable and dryable. When the season is done, you can easily clean up after the holidays and pack your Poinsettia Christmas Tree Skirt for many years to come!

Best  wishes to you and your family throughout the holiday season!
