From Interweave Knits:



Stripes of ice cream colors in a wavy stitch pattern grace the lower edge of Kat Coyle’s free-spirited skirt.  The skirt is worked in stockinette-stitch from the waist down, then changes to the popular feather and fan pattern, with the number of stitches in the pattern repeats gradually increasing to produce a gentile A-line shape.  A drawstring snugs in the waist, and a lace edging finishes the hem.
