The Norwalk Wrap is the continuation of a series of knit designs created in response to Black Mountain College. The pattern is inspired by the legacy of Ruth Asawa and is a reflection on her work as a full-time artist and full-time mama of 6 kids.

The Norwalk Wrap is worked from tip-to-tip. It is two-sided and features a 4-row garter stitch pattern repeat with a simple, undulating cable pattern. On the right side, the cable stitches create a honeycomb cell structure. On the wrong side, the cable stitches create a houndstooth pattern. The wrap is fully finished with an i-cord edge that forms along both edges .
