From pattern description:

“Loose-fitting striped, crocheted skirt with shell stitch edges, knitted waistband and faux pockets. Designed by James Coviello.”

From Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2004:

“James Coviello wins us over with this fabulous crocheted concoction. Textural stitches in Lana Grossa/Unicorn Books & Crafts’ “Cool Wool Merino 2000” create the rich stripe pattern; flirty bows accent the pockets and are worked in “Hanna Silk” ribbon from Artemis.“
