Christmas Tree Skirt - Free Graphic Pattern - Intarsia Crochet

Dec 12

My Christmas tree was missing something, so I made this skirt for it! I hope you like it and feel inspired to make it too.

Start with a slip knot and the number of stitches with which the design begins, plus one stitch to turn.

Begin from the second chain from the hook with single crochet stitches to create the first row of the design. At the end of each row, make a chain and turn the panel to work on the next row.

In the graph, where you see the row number, it indicates where to start reading the line. That is, if the number is on the right, you should read it from right to left.

Note: Due to the color changes, you’ll have several strands of yarn attached to your project at the same time. You can separate one skein of yarn into smaller balls, for example, having several small white balls.

While making this skirt, you don’t need to worry about how the back of your panels looks. That’s why it's better not to carry the yarn inside the stitch as you go along, to prevent colors from showing where they shouldn’t. As long as the yarn is on the back of the panel and you don’t pull it too tightly when crossing the yarn from one side to the other, you’ll achieve a beautiful, smooth front with defined lines and colors.

When changing colors, insert the hook to complete the last stitch of Color A, then yarn over and complete the single crochet with Color B. Let go of Color A and continue with Color B. You’ll pick up Color A again on the way back in the next row when you need it.

Make sure to always drop the yarn on the WRONG side of your panel! When working on odd-numbered rows, the right side will be facing you, and on even-numbered rows, the wrong side will be facing you. So, in all even-numbered rows, always remember to drop the yarn toward you during a color change so that it stays on the back of the panel.

When you reach the part where the hole begins in the center, keep working row by row along one side, crocheting only until you reach the yellow line that separates the stitches at the top. When you finish one side, join red yarn at the point where you need to start working, following the direction of the fabric! Then continue with the other side, crocheting only until you reach the yellow line on that side.

Let's get crocheting!

You can find the graph pattern here. To view the full pattern, you should be on a computer.

Then, come back to this page to follow the instructions for making the green border.

Green border

To add some contrast, I added a green border. I joined the green yarn to the top, leaving a starting tail. In the graph, I’ve marked this with the green stitch. Make two chains and work double crochet stitches around the entire edge. When you finish, leave a tail so you can make a bow with the starting tail and keep the pieces together when your skirt is under the tree.

Also, join a red yarn to each corner where the two parts of the skirt meet, to keep them together with a little bow.

Tip!

To prevent this type of yarn from fraying further, slightly burn the ends.
