Constrcution
The Snuggle Season Tree Skirt is worked flat in rows, beginning at the inner base of the tree and increasing outward toward the outer edge. The main panel is built on a repeating puff-stitch pattern, with increases added to create the skirt’s gradual flare. After the main panel is completed, a join-as-you-go ribbed band is worked along the outer edge for a soft, stretchy finish. The inner edge is finished with a button-up closure, allowing the tree skirt to wrap easily around the base of the tree.

Tree Skirt Pattern
Notes: The Snuggle Season Tree Skirt is worked flat in rows, beginning at the inner base of the tree and increasing outward toward the outer edge. The main panel features a repeating puff stitch pattern, with increases widening the shape of the skirt.
Once the main panel is complete, a join-as-you-go, ribbed band is worked along the outer row edge, forming a soft, stretchy trim that finishes the skirt beautifully. The inner edge is completed with a button-up closure, allowing the tree skirt to wrap easily around the tree. Use two strands of bulky-weight yarn held together for this pattern.
