All about Crocheting Tree Skirts

Before we jump into the patterns, let’s talk a little bit about how tree skirts are crocheted and what to expect before starting one as a project.

How long does it take to crochet a tree skirt?

The length of time it will take you to crochet a tree skirt really depends on the pattern. Usually the quickest type of tree skirt is made from chunky yarn (sometimes these can be done in a matter of hours!) More ornate skirts, or skirts made with worsted yarn, will take longer.

I would plan anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to finish your tree skirt. It will also depend on how much time you have to work on it!

What size should my tree skirt be?

Generally speaking, tree skirts should be about 6″ bigger than your tree. Leaving somes space like this is a nice look—it will cover the tree stand and spread out farther onto the floor. However, you can customize this if you want to!

What yarn should I use to crochet a tree skirt?

Cotton is always a great choice for crocheting tree skirts because it is absorbent and durable. However, I’ve seen lots of patterns that use acrylic yarn too. Acrylic also holds up well to wear and tear.
