Nowel Christmas Tree Skirt

Description

This pattern is also available on Ravelry.

Nowel is the middle English word for Christmas, and the cables wrapping around the tree make me think of old-fashioned cozy Christmases.

This Christmas tree skirt for a pencil tree (skinny tree) is fast to knit, taking between 8 and 10 hours to make.
