Crochet Christmas tree skirt free pattern inspiration

I have always wanted to make another Christmas tree skirt after making the snowfall CAL last year with my friends.

A few months ago, I made the serenity skirt in both adult and kids’ versions and thought of making a Christmas tree skirt using the same stitch!

I felt naming it Serenity Christmas tree skirt is most appropriate. The name came about from the look of the skirt – Looks peaceful to me! and also the pattern is one that can be mastered easily.
