Forest for a Tree Skirt
This ample sized tree skirt provides plenty of space for gifts at Christmas time! With cable knit evergreens bordered by garter stitch bands and textured snow panels, the skirt is an intermediate project that provides a little variation to keep your interest while knitting. A garter stitch edge of picked up stitches and I-cords tied into bows finish it off. Knit one up to keep your Christmas tree stylish and warm this holiday season!
