Cotton Crochet Christmas Tree Skirt Pattern
Loving the tree skirt made with Lily Sugar'n Cream Cotton Yarn!
In the Cranberry Pineapple Crochet Christmas tree skirt pattern, it calls for size 4 worsted weight yarn. In the past, I have always used Hobby Lobby "I Love This Yarn" because of the great colors. Another suggested yarn is Lily's Sugar'n Cream, size 4. It works up close to the same size with a great cotton feel.
I would like to note that in the past, I did not recommend this cotton due to the extra hand strength necessary to crochet with this yarn and hook size. If you suffer from arthritis, it can make it a difficult project. But it can also be very therapeutic to get this workout, and with really great results. If you are up to the challenge, I would recommend you give it a try. With its substantial weight and it's great texture and feel, the size 4 cotton is a great yarn for the Cranberry Pineapple Crochet Christmas Tree Skirt.
If you have not purchased the Cranberry Pineapple tree skirt pattern, you may do so on Etsy. If you would like a tree skirt made just for you in cotton and do not see it listed, please make a request on Etsy.

Large Cranberry Pineapple Crochet Christmas Tree Skirt Pattern
2020, Cranberry Pineapple Crochet Christmas Tree Skirt Pattern updated. One update is the option to alter the original 43 inch skirt size, to be able to make a slightly larger skirt using L (8-11 mm) hook. This can yield 48 to 54 inch skirt, depending on hook, yarn, and tension used.
Along with this added size option to the original, now you can make a 60 inch tree skirt with the new large tree skirt pattern.
The large pattern will need to be purchased separately from original pattern, due to the extensive differences. But these can be bundled together at a lower cost.
If you have already purchased the tree skirt pattern prior to 2020, please email me, to receive the large pattern at no cost to you.
Thank you for stopping by.
May you find joy and inspiration in life.

Weave ends.
Holding the yarn between your thumb and first 2 fingers on your left hand, wrap the yarn around first 2 fingers so that the yarn falls to the back and furthest away from you, insert the hook between these 2 fingers and under the top strand, grab the second hanging strand next to it with your hook and pull it through the loop, then make a chain with the loop on your hook and begin the pattern, working around the tail in the circle. For closing; untwist the tail from the loop, pull the tail gently, join your circle before closing tightly, pull gently but firmly closing the slack in the center of the circle. Be careful not to pull too tight, as this can break the yarn.
Try different yarns and hook sizes for different size and feel doilies. Original pattern uses size L hook, giving the finished project a softer feel with the loosely crocheted stitches. The smaller your hook, the stiffer and smaller your finished project will be.
Please email if you have questions, would like to share, or for any reason.

The story behind the Flavors
Cranberry Pineapplea.k.a.
White Chocolate
Crochet Christmas
Tree Skirt
The Cranberry Pineapple Crochet Christmas tree skirt first came together in 2012.
The tree skirt sold fine on Etsy through the years, with the occasional request for the pattern. In 2018, with a request from a special lady, I was inspired to share the pattern.
All these years I had been using my notes and memory and had not taken time to formally write it down. So, I began, from the beginning, writing and testing. In the process, I made many tree skirts. As I made them, I start to get more ideas.
To clarify, I used the yarn that was on hand for test skirts, and usually I have a lot of brown yarn on hand.
So, I had made all these brown tree skirts. You heard right, Brown Christmas tree skirts.
And here I am, so happy with them :) and as I make one after the other, my mind fills with possibilities of just this one pattern. Getting very excited about publishing at this point, which meant more pictures, more skirts, etc. I would start a new color…still using the colors I had on hand, and I crocheted on.
Maybe it was Thanksgiving in the air, and that I had food on the brain, but I started associating the colors with names of food. And of course, White Chocolate, Chocolate, my daughter added Snickerdoodle….I think she was Snicker-doodling at me running around calling colors food. I was nuts with the flavors. I would see yarn and try and figure out what Christmas food flavor it could be....Cranberry Pineapple was born, after all it was the most popular color and would go on the cover of the pattern. Cranberry for the color and Pineapple for the traditional pineapple design. Now, Hmmm? What color was I going to make next?
Figgy Pudding! It had my favorite color, with contrasting white & that nice pop of color from the Holly. I loved the idea and 5 days later, Figgy Pudding Pineapple Christmas Tree Skirt was born.
I am hopeful the tree skirts and tree skirt patterns bring as much JOY to others as they have to me, on this wonderful adventure.
Pictured below is the Peppermint Swizzle, a.k.a. Peppermint Twist Hot Chocolate.
The peppermint swizzle in itself has inspired the "Swizzle", (red and white pictured below).
The Peppermint is similar to the Gingerbread skirt.
There was an order on Etsy a few years back for a Grey Peppermint Swizzle tree skirt. The grey turned out rather pretty, I think.
I ended up selling several of the brown tree skirts that year and the next, if you are curious. Below, my test skirts with all my neutral colors :}
Sample of the browns :D
Top Flavors are: Cranberry, White Chocolate and Snow....
maybe I will rename Snow, Frosting. hmmm...

Crochet owls are so cute. So, when i was in need of a phone case and a project to take my mind off of tree skirts, I decided that an owl would be my next project.
