Poinsettias In The Snow — Christmas Afghan, Tree Skirt & Stocking Crochet PDF
Poinsettia Crochet Patterns — Afghan, Tree Skirt & Stocking
These poinsettia crochet patterns use one red-centered granny-square motif to create three coordinated Christmas pieces: a generous afghan, a buttoned tree skirt and matching stockings. Repeating the same flower square across the room, tree and mantel is what gives the set its special charm. Each project can stand alone, yet together they create a complete handmade holiday story.

This Dazespast Heritage Edition includes the complete restored historical pattern plus modern editorial pages for gauge, yarn substitution, motif consistency, joining, finishing and updated color inspiration.

Modern Maker’s Notes
The finished 3¾-inch square is the most important measurement in these poinsettia crochet patterns. Do not assume that a modern yarn with a familiar label will behave exactly like Brunswick Windrush. Work one complete square through all color rounds, let it relax, and measure before beginning the full project. The Craft Yarn Council Standard Yarn Weight System is useful for comparing modern yarn families, but gauge and finished fabric should guide the final choice.
Keep the same yarn family, hook and tension throughout a large motif project. The afghan benefits from softness and drape, the tree skirt can tolerate a little more body, and the stocking should remain firm enough to hold its shape. Weaving ends in as the squares accumulate also makes final assembly much easier.
Holiday Color Stories
Work the classic white, evergreen, red and yellow palette, or try cream with deep pine and burgundy, soft white with cranberry and mustard, or natural with dark green, brick red and flax. Changing color can make the same vintage motif feel traditional, rustic or quietly modern.
Digital product only. No finished afghan, tree skirt, stocking, yarn or printed pattern will be mailed.
