My niece, Tanvi, loves short twirly skirts! I had made this earlier for P2.....and decided to gift Tanvi one made specially for her :)
This is the simplest skirt knit pattern I have come across - and thankfully it was free pattern :)
I have used a shaded wool for this pattern - and used needles larger than the one recommended - thereby giving an airy and light look to the skirt.
I have picked this pattern from http://www.to-knit-knitting-stitches.com/girl-twirly-skirt.html
Pasting the design here for reference along with the pictures of what I made....
