Pattern
With two strands of yarn held together – Cast on 30 sts
Row 1: knit to the end of the row.
Row 2: Purl to the end of the row.
Rep rows 1 and 2 (to form stockinette stitch) until your knitted length measures 62 inches.
*You can make this shorter or longer – depending on the size of your Christmas tree.*
Cast off.
Weave in any loose ends.
Making Up
Add pom poms to one edge of the knitted length – I added 5 extra-large in white yarn and 6 in the large size.
I stitched the pom poms 4 inches / 10 cm apart.
Weave in all loose ends.
The tree skirt is not seamed together – you wrap it around your Christmas tree base loosely and arrange it like it is a blanket, with the pom poms at the front and the ends at the back of the base, hidden from view.
