This is simple crochet tree skirt measuring 38" in diameter and whips up very quickly with this chunky velvet yarn. Be sure to check the description box below the video for the sequence/pattern to assist with the video. Wishing you all good things this holiday season! xx
Yes and no. Yes an "increase" is always 2 sc in one stitch but each even row, you'll be working increases in a growing sequence. Please rewatch as I explain the sequence. You'll be working incrementally. The pattern is also written under video in the description box to show what I mean.
Such a beautiful piece. Can you make the adjustments someone made a comment about in your description box or edit the video? I don't crochet a lot and learned many many many years ago so I'm not sure what the other person meant. So, when I crochet a project I usually do so by looking at the video. Thank you.
@@AR-xi9gn I replied to her and she was satisfied by my response. I’m unclear with what you are wanting to know. The video shared how to do the sequence and then the rest of them are in the description box below the video.
It’s hard for me to know why since I’m not watching you make it . If you’re following along with the video and counting your stitches(and increasing) it will expand. I’m sorry , I really don’t know how to help 😕
@@kristencelona9689 great - now it isn’t a perfect fit , mine overlapped a little bit but I still love it . Just telling you in case it overlaps for you too . Keep me posted ❤️
I’m looking to make this with bulky yarn instead of chunky, do you have any idea approximately how many yards I might need to make up the difference? Or maybe a better way to ask that is what the gauge for this project is?
What weight is your bulky yarn? For gauge, I have done a 32” diameter tree skirt with Bernat big blanket yarn (weight 7) and it took 2 skeins (300 grams each ) To help know if we are discussing the same yarn weight , this yarn required a 25mm hook.
I used the same yarns as you did and followed the sequence of above and mine didn’t form any thing close to a circle. It’s like half a circle. I don’t know what went wrong. I followed the instructions to a tee. What do I do now?
Hm , I’m not sure. I’d recommend placing it under your tree and seeing how it looks. It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. Maybe have it overlap a little in the back ?
Hello, i am not sure if you will see this, am i able to use my weight 6 super bulky yarn with this, with the reccomended hook size? Specifically the hunny bunnie yarn from hobbi?
@@michellemichlovsky5832 ok , that might be the issue if they aren’t the same weight of yarn. What weight is it? If it’s thinner than what I used , you can use two strands at the same time to thicken it up Or if you don’t want to do that Then only thing I can suggest is to try doing the increase in every row instead of every other row. But that will mean your circle grows more quickly.
If I use a smaller yarn thickness - yarn that takes a size 9 hook - does this pattern still apply? I’m about 6 rows in now and it is curving but it looks like a slice of pizza is missing
Hello! This is a beautiful design! I am working on this pattern, and right now my yarn seems to be scrunching up on the ends with the double crochet. Do you know if perhaps I am using too small of a hook? I’m using a size 10!
Hm I'm not sure why that is doing that to you. Is it the right sized hook for the yarn you're working with? It could be a tension issue , but it's hard to say without seeing it.
@@PlayHookywithMe The yarn calls for a larger hook, so that might be the issue! I've had a similar thing where my yarn curled when I put too many rings in my magic circle. So perhaps a larger hook would fix the issue!! Thank you!!
Hello!! Thank you so much for your video!! I'm going to make mine a little smaller since I don't have much space, I'm going to do 20 stitches instead of 24. I understand the pattern, but how many rows do you suggest I do? Would it be ok if I did the same amount as you or should I do less rows? I'm still new to crocheting sorry...thanks!
@@judidimartino8434 I really can’t say if it will or not without seeing it. Mine might have overlapped a little bit but I can’t say for sure because my daughter is using it this year. ❤️🎄
I tried to do a circle crochet with the magic circle and just can't seem to get it. I've watched other videos on how to do circles but I can't seem to do it right. My first scarf (used 5mm) turned out really well. I'm using 8mm hook for my grandmother's scarf, it's super plush, and something I noticed about the Bernat velvet as opposed to Yarn Bee velvet, Bernat seems to be less full/fluffy. It's still really nice though.

I am newer to crocheting and I just finished my tree skirt tonight using your pattern. I love it, thank you for the tutorial!
Wonderful! So glad you are happy with it! 🧶❤️
That was such an amazing explanation. I just restarted and you explained crochet better than the beginner videos I’ve been watching
Thank you, I’m so glad it was helpful to you! 🧶❤️
This skirt is beautiful....thank you for the tutorial ❤
Thank you ! ❤️
Very new to crocheting and this was a tutorial that felt easy to follow along 😊 thank you!
Oh good! 🧶💕
This is gorgeous 🥰 Thank you for sharing this pattern ❣
Thank you !
It's gorgeous!
Thanks so much! 😀🎄
Absolutely gorgeous💝
Do you have and videos on hand knitting scarves with pockets and sweaters/cardigans? Thank you
Thank you! I don't have any that are hand knit yet- just crochet. But I'll make note of that.
Beautiful 🎄
Thank you !
Good afternoon, just need to know when you do the increases on the even rows is it always 2 SC in the spaces after the 1 SC?
Yes and no. Yes an "increase" is always 2 sc in one stitch but each even row, you'll be working increases in a growing sequence. Please rewatch as I explain the sequence. You'll be working incrementally. The pattern is also written under video in the description box to show what I mean.
@@PlayHookywithMe Noted with thanks!!!!!!! I'll go back and watch again and look for the notes you spoke of!!!

I’m not sure what comment you’re referring to ?
@@PlayHookywithMe The one from Terry Riley.
@@AR-xi9gn I replied to her and she was satisfied by my response. I’m unclear with what you are wanting to know.
The video shared how to do the sequence and then the rest of them are in the description box below the video.
@@PlayHookywithMe Ok. I thought she was trying to correct your instructions on how to make the Christmas tree skirt. Thank you.
Thank you for the tutorial. Can this be made with regular yarn and dc instead of sc
Yes but I can’t guarantee that the increase will line up in the same way using dc. If you try it, please post an update. 💕🧶
If I am ending my even row in a sc (and cannot find my error) is it best to rip it out? Thanks so much!
I guess so since I am not aware of what your error is 💕
Beautiful please please get back to me I'm trying this for the first time but mine isn't expanding out what am I doing wrong
It’s hard for me to know why since I’m not watching you make it . If you’re following along with the video and counting your stitches(and increasing) it will expand. I’m sorry , I really don’t know how to help 😕
This may be stupid, but how do you connect it to be a circle?
It forms a circle naturally . The two sides match up to eachother
@@PlayHookywithMe ok, im going to give it a try!
@@kristencelona9689 great - now it isn’t a perfect fit , mine overlapped a little bit but I still love it . Just telling you in case it overlaps for you too .

Can I use a 9mm hook??
Not with this jumbo 7 yarn , no 😐

Sure, use any yarn you like - you might need to make extra rounds or less . Just keep going until you get the size you want 👍🏻🧶
I did a chain of 20 and patterns recommended rows but mine is nowhere near a closed circle. What should I do?
Did you use the same yarn as I did? It’s hard to say what you need to do without seeing it.
@@PlayHookywithMe no, I used a standard yarn

@@PlayHookywithMe it's a standard medium 4 worsted yarn.

It sounds like you need to increase your chain count in the beginning. Did the two ends meet in a circle when you made your initial chain ?

Where us the description ? Sorry, I need the rest of the # of stitches for row 6 and on.
The description is under the video - you’ll see a little arrow on the right hand side (below video) or you might see the word “more”.
Thank you
Hello!! Thank you so much for your video!! I'm going to make mine a little smaller since I don't have much space, I'm going to do 20 stitches instead of 24.

Sure, the same amount of rows should be fine or you may not even need that many . You’ll see as you’re making it ❤️🧶
How did this turn out for you? I did chain 20 with patterns suggested rows and it's nowhere near a closed circle. Not sure what to do.
Is it supposed to overlap after row with 12 single crochet?
It might a little but I don’t remember mine overlapping . Is it extreme?
@@PlayHookywithMe so far not much, but I am wondering as I increase it might be a lot.
@@judidimartino8434 I really can’t say if it will or not without seeing it. Mine might have overlapped a little bit but I can’t say for sure because my daughter is using it this year. ❤️🎄
@@PlayHookywithMe am I supposed to chain one at the end of every row? That might be what I am doing wrong.....
@@judidimartino8434 the chain one is just to give you room to flip your work , it doesn’t count as a stitch. Have you counted your stitches?
Im going to turn this into an actual skirtand add a top😅
Awesome! 👗 😀👏🏻💕
