Crochet Starshine Christmas Tree Skirt + Tutorial

Crochet Starshine Christmas Tree Skirt

The Starshine Christmas Tree Skirt is remake of the Starshine Hugs & Kisses Blanket Pattern. So it's a design you may already know and love, minus the bobbles.

This is my first every tree skirt design.  I was inspired by the new Red Heart Super Saver O'Go Christmas yarn.  Of course, you can use your favorite yarns and colors to create your own personalized project.  My tree is a bit small, so if you would like to make yours bigger, just continue to repeat the 28th to 31st rounds until you have the size you need.

Mikey's version in the tutorial was using Red Heart Roll With It Melange. Colour is called Gossip. You will need two balls of that if you wish to substitute. Mikey did 19 rnds and then the border. His size was 28" [70 cm] across tips.
