Mosaico Dress

**Construction, style, & variations** The Mosaico Dress is constructed by making granny squares in different sizes and assembling as you go. The neckline and armscyes are finished with a single-crochet trim. The bodice has a shift fit that transitions into a dipped waistline and slight flare to accommodate the hips. A vertical slit is included at the back of the neckline so that the dress can be slipped on overhead; closures are attached along this vertical edge. The pattern provides for the following style variations: * Neckline: rounded square or V-neck * Length: mini or longer * Color: “Patch” or “Clover” **Materials** * Fingering weight yarn in a fiber with minimal stretch (samples shown were made with Circulo Anne 100% Mercerized Brazilian Virgin Cotton; 547yds/5.19oz (500m/147g)) * Minimum 1 eye hook closure, preferably 3 (3) 3 (4) 4 **Gauge** * sGS measures 3.5 in.
