Mozaika Gunes

Mozaika means “mosaic” in Bulgarian. Gunes is the word for “sun” in Turkish. Given that the inspiration behind this design is a tiled wall in a Hammam, or turkish bath, it just feels fitting to name it Sun Mosaic. A garment to decorate yourself with the sun. It’s a loose summer top that can be cropped or tunic length. It features a high neck at the front and a low neckline at the back. The line in the middle centers the piece over your body and there is an easy mosaic colorwork that decorates the body. #MozaikaGunesTop Materials YARN: Fingering yarn (size 1) (XS) 330 m of MC, 170 m of CA, 135 m of CB, (S) 370 m of MC, 190 m of CA, 150 m of CB, (M) 410 m of MC, 210 m of CA, 170 m of CB, (L) 450 m of MC, 230 m of CA, 185 m of CB, (XL) 490 m of MC, 250 m of CA, 200 m of CB, (2XL) 530 m of MC, 270 m of CA, 220 m of CB, (3XL) 575 m of MC, 290 m of CA, 235 m of CB, (4XL) 615 m of MC, 310 m of CA, 255 m of CB, (5XL) 655 m of MC, 330 m of CA, 270 m of CB. *Amounts are approximate for a semi-cropped top with short sleeves.
