Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight wool yarn in cream and deep red
• Needles: US 10 (6.0 mm) circular needles
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the cream yarn, cast on 180 stitches. Ensure that the stitches are not twisted when you join in the round. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
2. Ribbing (Rounds 1-5):
   • Round 1: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 2: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 3: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 4: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 5: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
3. Snowflake Motif (Round 6): Switch to deep red yarn. Begin the snowflake motif chart and work it over the 180 stitches. Follow the chart carefully to ensure the snowflakes are correctly placed.
4. Stockinette Stitch (Rounds 7-20): Continue in stockinette stitch, maintaining the snowflake pattern as established. Knit every round for these 14 rounds.
5. Cable Pattern (Round 21): Begin the cable pattern: *K6, C6F (cable 6 front)* repeat from * to * around. This creates a beautiful texture that enhances the skirt's design.
6. Continue Cable Pattern (Rounds 22-30): Keep working in the established cable pattern for 9 more rounds. Make sure to maintain the tension for a uniform look.
7. Garter Stitch (Round 31): Switch back to cream yarn. Work in garter stitch (knit every round) for 5 rounds. This will create a nice border for your tree skirt.
8. Bind Off: Bind off loosely to ensure the edge is flexible. This will help the skirt lay flat around your tree.
9. Finishing Touches: Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle. Finally, block the tree skirt to the measurements to achieve the desired shape and size.

Your Nordic Charm Noel Tree Skirt is now complete! With its cozy texture and festive design, it will surely become a cherished part of your holiday traditions.
