Does anyone know of a good pattern for a Christmas tree skirt? (Obviously, not for this year ... I'm not THAT crazy.)

Thanks!

I too would like to make a nice tree skirt for next year. Knit or Crocher, either will work for me. Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

Yes!! I have a great pattern--but it's crocheted..if you still want it? I will dig it out and post it.

I made two of these because then it covers a larger area under the tree. I also crocheted an edging just because I felt like it

CC, you're the best! The snowflake one is perfect. Thanks!!

There is also a lovely skirt in Handknit Holidays...I think that is the name of Melanie Falick's new book.
