Free Red Heart Crochet Modern Granny Christmas Tree Skirt

The Crochet Modern Granny Tree Skirt was designed in two sizes to give foundation information so you can crochet it to your size.

I designed this so you can have the starting chain counts and begin the modern granny setup to get the project set up. You can crochet it as big as you need to and stop where you feel it's best.
