Christmas In July: Crochet Tree Skirt

I know we just celebrated Independence Day here in America, but now it's Christmas in July.  So today, I am sharing the Frozen Inspired Crochet Christmas Tree Skirt I made last year. Last Christmas, I bought a new tree that's white with blue lights. I decided to give our Christmas decor a Frozen theme since my daughter LOVES Frozen. Our tree was decked out in blue, pink, and purple ornaments, so I chose the same colors for the tree skirt.

I started my crochet tree skirt by making pentagons with  Caron Simply Soft Watermelon, Caron Simply Soft Purple, and Caron Simply Soft Mint. I made eight and joined them using a join as you go method.

After I joined the pentagons, I started crocheting in rows in double crochets. I crocheted the rows using  Caron Simply Soft Watermelon, Caron Simply Soft Purple, Caron Simply Soft Mint, and Caron Simply Soft White.

I decided that this was big enough. But if next year, I decided that I want it a little bigger, I can easily add on more rows.

After I was done making rows I went back to the center of the skirt and added a couple rows. I was going to close the skirt with buttons, but I decided to add crochet ties instead.

Now, it fits perfectly around the tree.

This was my first time crocheting a Christmas tree skirt, and I'm pleased how it turned out, especially since I did not follow a pattern.

Once I finished the skirt, I got busy wrapping our presents. I used a couple different Frozen wrapping papers. I've bought my children mostly pajamas, books, and a couple movies since they already have a bunch of toys.

Here's a closer look at a few of the ornaments on our Christmas tree. I put a crown at the top of the tree because Elsa is the Queen of Arendelle, and Anna is a princess. I found the ornaments with the picture of Elsa and Anna at the Dollar Tree. I bought all that they had! I also purchased the ornaments with mirrored squares from the Dollar Tree. And our Elf on the Shelf was just hanging out in the tree for two reasons: 1. I was so busy crocheting and decorating for Christmas, and 2. My daughter touched the elf! Kids aren't supposed to touch the elf!!!
