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.
 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.
