Gigue Tank Top
Gigue is a cropped tank top with an all-over twisted traveling stitch pattern. The top is shaped like a little tube top with straps and is worked seamlessly in the round with the straps joined using Kitchener stitch. Both charted and written instructions are provided for the stitch pattern.
The top is intended to be worn with 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) of negative ease. Measurements provided above are the actual finished measurements of the garment, which means you should select a size 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) smaller than your actual bust measurement.
