Christmas Tree Skirt Pattern | Free Crochet Patterns

I love to add handmade elements to my holiday season as it really makes me feel super festive.


This year has seen me create a super quick Reindeer Candy Cane holder pattern along with a Christmas Pudding Teapot Cosy. Both of these patterns are perfect for gifting - just what the season is all about in my eyes. 


That theme of gifting and generosity continues with an added joy of collaborating with some of my favourite designers. 


The Snowfall Tree Skirt, has been co-designed with Helen from Sunflower Cottage Crochet and Susanna from Crochet Fosbas. 


I've been so fortunate to work with both of these designers throughout 2021, and it feels very special to have created a crochet pattern that will feature in other peoples Christmas traditions over the years.

Christmas Mystery CAL

From December 4th-6th 2021, this stunning crochet tree skirt is released as a festive crochet along. The design for this pattern has been created by 3 different designers including me.
