Modern and graphic, Dianna Walla’s Zara Tee boasts boxy elements in shape and color details, with a slim sleeve to balance it off. Worked flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed, the applied crochet chain technique used for the contrasting color makes simple work of the widely spaced vertical stripes.
