Shady Side by Samantha Guerin Designs | Shady Side is a sweater love song to indie dyed yarn. This chic, casual fitting striped pullover is knit with fingering weight yarn and features subtle stripes created by holding mohair lace double with the main yarn. Use your favorite indie dyed sock yarn, paired with decadent mohair silk lace. Lightweight, but with a touch of mohair coziness, Shady Side is a traditional raglan sweater, knit from the top down. Details like a folded crewneck collar and split hem add stylish notes to this casual classic wardrobe staple.
