 Back in 2017, I teamed up with a few crochet designer friends to host a 10 Days of Thanksgiving crochet event. Each day for 10 days, we would share something personal about ourselves and offer one of our crochet patterns for just $1 that matched a theme for the day. We held this event for 3 years until I had to go back to work full time and no longer had enough time for crochet. It was something I looked forward to each year as we planned our themes for the 10 days. I really enjoyed the friendships we had and being able to visit online each day. Sadly, after a 4 years of being out of the crochet community, collaborating groups of designers has changed. While I still can reach out to past designer friends, it's different getting back into the scene. SO many new faces!!!!  With this, I'm hosting the 10 Days of Thanksgiving on my own this year with the hopes that I can get back in the groove of things and bring it back strong for 2025. For now, would you sit with me for a minute each day and we can get to know each other? Many of you have been here since the beginning of Crafting Friends Designs and I am Sincerely thankful for you and your support. Some of you are new here and I would love to get to know you! So, here's how it works... Each day for 10 days, I will add to this post with a Theme of the day and a crochet pattern that may coordinate with the theme. The pattern will be discounted to just $1 during this event. (expires 11/30/24) As some of you have had trouble with the coupon codes, I'm switching so the discount is set so you can add all patterns to your cart at the same time if you prefer. **All patterns purchased here on my website will also be sent through Ravelry to the email used for the purchase so you can store them in your library there too.** Comment with your thoughts each day either here on the post or on my Facebook page so I can get to know you too! Are you ready for Day 1? Alrighty then, let's jump down below for our first pattern... **This post contains affiliate links through which I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you for purchases made**

 Textured Ribbon Candy Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern in Blue & White  I am SO excited to be able to bring you another beautiful Christmas tree skirt crochet pattern just in time to make for your holiday this year. In the past, I've made tree skirts that were white, cream, red & cream, red & white, teal & white, pink & white, burgundy & cream, teal & white, red, green &white... and it's been fun to see how well the different colors have been received. My husband's favorite color is blue and 2 years ago, I bought a new Christmas tree and some pretty blue ornaments for him. To me, it was just beautiful! Not only was it one of my favorite, our Bearded Dragon fell in love and would run and find her favorite spot every day. Can you see her in there? She blends in with the ribbon pretty well.  At the time, I only had my Royal Christmas Tree Skirt that would work well with the blue decorations. It definitely was stunning with the flocked tree and blue and gold decor.
That's when I decided I needed to design a new tree skirt using blue somehow. My Diamond Christmas Tree Skirt crochet pattern is by far my best selling pattern of anything I 've designed. It's one of my favorites too and I wanted to try a textured variation of the stitch that was used in that tree skirt. The final results are...   Alright my friends, I can't say enough about adding texture to your crochet projects. I just love, love, love it! Years ago, I designed the Diamond Christmas Tree Skirt using what I learned as the Brick Stitch when I just just a kid. It's a quick stitch to create fast projects and is the basis of C2C crochet projects. It has been my biggest selling pattern By Far! I love that it gives a wavy look when worked in stripes but can easily be rounded off with a straight edge when needed.  Then, to do something different in C2C style, I designed the Ribbon Candy Blanket for my nephew when he was born. I just adore the swirling ribbon look this stitch gives when worked in larger sections. It's just so pretty! And now, we have the best of both worlds!!! The pretty ribbon look with added texture 😊
This quick video will show you how to work the Textured Ribbon Candy Stitch that I use in my Textured Ribbon Candy Blanket & Textured Ribbon Candy Christmas Tree Skirt crochet patterns. Be sure to follow the actual written directions within your specific pattern for best results as I may make some slight adjustments between patterns. |
