This tee is knit seamlessly in-the-round, top-down, using contiguous style shoulders. Widest at the bust and tapering slightly to the waist, the built-in ease makes this a very wearable sweater for most body shapes. The diamond-shaped details worked in lace are reflective of the commonly-occurring geometric diamonds found in Native American artwork. In the Navajo culture, the diamond is thought to represent the Dinetah, or Navajo homeland, and it is one of the basic elements of design upon which weavers build more complex and artistic shapes.
