Tips for making these Christmas tree skirts

Make all your motifs or squares first. This will allow you to decide on the size of the skirt for your tree. 

Follow the instructions for joining the squares. Each of the patterns has a different square to make the tree skirts.

Remember the gauges between crochet yarns and threads will be different. Crochet threads and yarns are different in size. Also, both types of materials comes in different weights and that will make a difference in the size of the squares.

Be sure to buy all the yarns or threads at the same time and from the same company. Each company has a different dye vat. Even companies will have off colored vats even if the colors read the same.

Keep your stitches the same. Having looser or tighter stitches throughout the motifs will change the gauge and shapes.
