Crochet Christmas Tree Skirt with Bobbles Pattern

You’ll need:

RedHeart Super Saver yarn in Red & White

Crochet hook 5,5mm.

Size: approx. 37in diameter

Special Stitches

Bobble Stitch: Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 of the loops. Note that to complete the double crochet you would yarn over again and pull through the last two loops, but you are skipping that step here.

Repeat the previous step four more times so that you have five not-quite-complete dc stitches worked into the same stitch. There will be six loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all six loops. This closes your bobble crochet stitch.

Stitches control: 12 sts x 15 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
