 Sugar Plum Christmas Tree Skirt
Crochet Pattern And Video
 By Sara Sach Crochet

I am so excited about The Sugar Plumb

 Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern.

I bought a pink Christmas Tree and want

 to decorate it with purple and pink colors.

I am even planning a pink star topper for

 my tree, so be looking for that soon.

Remember if pinks and purples are not your style, 

that is super okay. Just make the tree 

skirt in the colors you want. I think blues

 and white would be lovely, and don't forget

the traditional green and red, would be great too.

The Sugar Plum Christmas Tree Skirt is a very

 easy crochet pattern. Once you learn the

 repeat and increases, you can make it as big or

 small as you need. Mine measures 26 X 80 inches.

 Once the size is finished then

 we add a cute and simple Shell Stitch Trim.

No fancy stitches or techniques.

I used medium 4 weight Acrylic yarn. The 

Herrschners Worsted Holiday Sparkle 

Sugar Plum And the Herrschners Worsted  Sparkle Raspberry, and Eggplant. 

And I Love this Yarn Sparkle in Lavender.

I chose to use the Hobby Lobby Lavender yarn I had

 on hand, rather then ordering more.

I Love the colors and the Sparkle of the yarns.

You do not have to use a sparkle yarn, 

and medium 4 weight yarn will work.

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

This is the 1st of many Blogs on

 How to have a Very Yarny Christmas 2015.

This is the beginning of a new Series.

 I will be posting Holiday blogs,  designs and crafts

that have Yarn as the main theme.

As we do, we will be decorating this tree together.

My Christmas Tree looks a

 little lonely and empty right now.

I am very excited about how we will decorate it

 and do some fun Christmas Crafts together.

First on the decorating list is a Christmas Tree Skirt.

I used Red Heart Shimmer Yarns.

 If you can not find this yarn,

 you can use Red Heart Christmas yarn, 

or I love this yarn Sparkle.

Any Worsted Weight (4) Yarn will work.
