Prudence is classically styled A-Line wrap skirt that would be a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The easy to work repeats make this a fun knit which comes together surprisingly quickly.

Construction begins with the cable edge and then continues sideways. The A-line shape of the skirt is achieved with short rows and the transitions between garter stitch and stockinette. Both the length and circumference can be adjusted easily for a custom fit.
