Pink Scallop Edge Skirt - A must knit short skirt for girls
My younger twin daughter wanted to have a pink skirt when she saw me knit a purple skirt for my niece's daughter. So, I came up with this one using a scallop pattern for the 3rd tier. I really like the look of the edge. It reminds me of a crochet scallop edge. Enjoy! and don't forget to send me a photo of it when you're done.

Finished Measurements: Waist Circumference = 22” to fit 4-6 years-old child. Length = 11.5 inches. *I had a visitor who knitted this skirt with a 21" waist for her 9 years-old niece. So it's best to check and measure the waist circumference first!

Please change it to; Row 5: *Sl 1, k1, psso, yf, [k1, yf] 5 times, k2tog; rep from * to the end. It seams like everyone who made this skirt figured it out!
