From the Knit Picks Website:

When the mercury drops and the winds begin to howl, a hand knit skirt is the perfect solution to “what to wear?” Paired with tights or leggings and your favorite boots, you?ll look as warm and comfortable as you feel. Wear this skirt apres-ski? or anytime you want to be lovely, cozy, and able to move freely.
The Slalom Skirt is fun to wear and fun to knit. Based on a simple, repeating 4 row cable stitch, it’s easy to memorize and simple to keep track of what to do next. As the cabled rows recur further apart, the knitting moves along faster and faster… A fun and satisfying project, indeed.

The weave pattern elongates and becomes more wavy from the waist-band towards the hem. It also becomes a wider gauge, giving the skirt shape - allowing the waist-band to be firm and structured, the hips to be shapely, and the hem to flow as you move. Overall shaping is slightly A-line… and totally lovely.
