Bundle Alert! When you bundle Alcott with Weld x Spark on the Hudson + West Co. site, you’ll get a discount off the pattern.

How could we resist making a cozy shawl with our shining new Spark? Alcott, by Sloane Rosenthal, is a friendly top down triangular shawl, featuring Sloane’s signature cables that flow seamlessly into a 2x2 ribbed border. Made at a lofty gauge, our tonal Spark gently shifts over the Weld base, creating just enough visual interest in the fabric without taking away from the pattern. This beautiful shawl is just the right size to wear as a spring scarf with a denim jacket or over bare shoulders.
