Whether you’re making it for your own space or crafting a one-of-a-kind gift, the Striped Knot Pillow pattern is a fun and easy crochet project.

For years, every time I opened the box of Christmas decorations, I was reminded that I needed to make a new Christmas tree skirt, but by then it was too late. This year, I remembered early enough to do something about it!

I was inspired by a 12-point star baby blanket pattern, and decided to add a Jacob’s Ladder (chain of large loops) down the middle of each point. The modification meant the star could only have 11 points to make it lay flat. The resulting 3-color pattern looks like a Christmas explosion! So I decided to call it that.

Three hidden buttons hold the star together seamlessly around the tree.
