Hi friends,

I added a new tree to my Christmas decor this year and I wanted to take a minute to share it with you. I hope that in the busyness of shopping, wrapping, baking, cooking, and all the other things this month that you have a had chance to take a few moments and just enjoy the season.🎄

My tree is a prelit 5-foot tree that I have tucked away in the corner of my kitchen. I was inspired to add a special tree by some beautiful vintage-look mercury glass ornaments that I have in 2 different sizes.

Of course, my tree needed a tree skirt and a star. 😊 I crocheted the tree skirt using the medium size from this pattern from Briana K. Designs. The star was made using this pattern from Milla Billa. By using chunky yarn for the star, it made it much bigger than the size listed in the pattern.

I used Yarn Bee Cozy Occasion yarn in Ivory with an N/9mm crochet hook to stitch up both the tree skirt and the star. For the star tree topper, I crocheted 2 stars and single crocheted them together, leaving the bottom open to slip over the top of the tree. I used 4 skeins of yarn to make both the tree skirt and the star topper and I even had enough left over to make a simple garland of chain stitches.

I really love having this little tree in my kitchen! If you want to stitch up your own tree skirt or star tree topper, just pin this post to your Christmas Pinterest board to remind you to make it for next year.😊

Merry Christmas!🎄
