latch rug hooking advice needed

Hi need some advice , Im doing a Christmas tree skirt and i have
missed placed the instructions im able to make out the colors its just
that im not sure how i should cut it so it will fit around the tree . I
noticed that there is a part where you can cut out to put the tree in
but not sure if i should make a slit to fit it better around the tree.
I would love some advice on which way would be the best way im half way
done it and give me a few more days i will have finished it all. This
is my first big project im still not sure how i should cut it to make
it round. Thanks a bunch.

I'm thinking if they had meant it to be cut, you'd see a line. Do not cut
without thinking harder on this, as it could create a gap that will not stay
together. It could be that they expect you to put it over the stand before
inserting the live tree or artificial tree pole. If you could give more
info on who makes it or where you got the pattern, and describe the pattern
on it, maybe someone else has made it and can know more about it.

I see a place to cut out the middle, but no line for cutting _open_. I
really think they would have put one to help people to cut straight, if they
intended an opening. I once had a felt kit for one that had an opening,
but it came open and with a large overlap. If you cut this one, it will
probably gap. If that is what you really really want (an opening), you
would need to finish the cut sides like the outside and try to put ribbons
to tie it shut, probably. Just my thinking. Remember that once it is
around a tree, it is not laying flat anymore, it will be raised up in the
middle from the stand. That will make it want to fly apart more.
