A traditional zig zag afghan design, shaped into a tree skirt, that could also be worn as a poncho.

Optional button closure.

Trim with tassels, bells, fringe, etc.

Worked in worsted weight yarn overall size of the piece is 35 inches across (15 inches from inside edge to outer point)

The easiest way to change the size would be to use a different weight of yarn and your preferred gauge for that yarn. (a bulky, fluffy blanket yarn would be so much fun!)

Pictured in a now discontinued yarn, generic color combinations are listed in pattern to get a similar result. “I Love this Yarn” from Hobby Lobby does have a metallic collection with a Christmas multi-color and solids to match for a classic Christmas look (one skein each of 4 colors should be more than enough). I’ve included a few other suggested yarn brands to try in this pattern listing, but think of this as an opportunity to get creative and have some fun.
