My Knit Cable Braid Tree Skirt has been such a favorite that I had to bring it to my crocheters! The braid is worked in post stitches as one long band, and then you pick up right along it and crochet the body inward. The spokes are framed with mirrored decreases, just like the knit version. I filmed the crosses and the pick-up row so you can crochet right along with me. It works up fast in super bulky yarn, and I love how rich it looks in Cranberry under the lights!
