Wreath Tree Skirt Free Crochet Pattern
For years I've meant to crochet a Christmas tree skirt. It's been on my wish list for a long time, but the inspiration just hadn't ever struck. This year I am so excited to knock this crafting project off my bucket list. And I hope you love the Wreath Tree Skirt Free Crochet Pattern too! I have also created a video tutorial to guide you through the steps.

The holiday season is so much fun, it's my favorite time of year, but it's also met with its challenges. Each year my oldest struggles with increased holiday anxiety. It's getting easier with the more communication skills he builds. A couple of years ago, he declared he hated how much red was in the house, which made him angry.
It's so interesting how color can affect our moods. I've tried to be conscious about his needs, and while I can't totally give up the color red when it comes to holiday décor, I have created a calming color-safe space for him.
The holiday décor solution.
Our main living room has zero red. It's full of nice neutral tones and gave me an excuse to get a second Christmas tree. You can never be too festive, right? I've noticed he tends to stay more in this room, but our other little one enjoys the rooms with the red décor too. I love it when I can find a compromise that works for everyone. I'm not even sure my oldest knows I did this for him (and had fun doing it), but I must try to make an inclusive holiday environment for our family.
So back to the Crochet Wreath Tree Skirt. With the new tree and new opportunity for a fresh look, I knew I wanted something neutral and elegant. And the stitches from the Macchiato Poncho and Macchiato Sweater have been so popular I decided to use them for a tree skirt. If you wanted to mix up colors, I could see the bands of puff stitches being red or green or whatever matches your home decor.
The size of the tree doesn't matter, your festive spirit does. So if you have a small table top tree I've also included options for different sizes.
