Homespun Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

 I was going to release this design this last year, but time
 got away from me. So here it is a year later..and I love it!

It is a really easy pattern that stitches up fast.

It lays beautifully and sort of reminds me of one of
my old Christmas Sweaters!

I wanted a Rocky Mountain Colorado Rustic Feel.

It hasn't started snowing yet, so I put it around one
 of the trees in the side of yarn.

I chose this tree for the photo, for it's rustic pine tree look
 and imperfections. Those scars are from the Bucks 
rubbing their antlers on the it.

The yarn I used is Holiday Homespun, by Lionbrand Yarn.

 1 skein each of Red, Green and White.

 It is  lovely soft and bumpy yarn,with gold thread
 running through it.

It is a Bulky (5) yarn, so if you do not have this yarn, 

or want to use a different yarn, any Bulky (5) would

 probably work great.

As you can see from this picture, it is basically stitched in a pentagon shape, and has a fun and easy chain loop trim.
You do not have to use the same striping effect I used.
Change it up and see what Happens!
