Gigha

Gigha is a tank top with a fun and unique instruction that allows for lots of customisation options. The front and back panels are worked flat (with optional bust shaping) and they are then joined either with ribbing OR with a panel and then ribbed straps. **There are two files included in this pattern, one for the DK and one for the 4ply.** Recommended positive ease 0-8 cm/0-3.25 inches, so you should pick a size that is 0-8 cm/0-3.25 inches larger than your chest. *Bust Shaping* Horizontal short-row bust shaping adds length to the front of your sweater at the bust. This additional length allows the hem to lie evenly, rather than pull up in the front. If working bust shaping you will need a additional 20-50m of yarn. **DK** *Gauge*: 20 stitches and 30 rows per 10 cm/4 inches with 4mm [US 6] needle in Stockinette stitch; 30 stitches per 10 cm/4 inches with 3.25mm [US 3] needle in 1x1 rib *Sizing*: Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) Finished Chest: 69 (79, 89, 99, 109, 119) (129, 139, 149, 159, 169) cm/27.25 (31, 35, 39, 43, 46.75) (50.75, 54.75, 58.75, 62.5, 66.5) inches *Yardage*: 289 (331, 373, 415, 457, 499) (541, 583, 625, 667, 708) meters 315 (361, 407, 452, 498, 544) (589, 635, 681, 727, 772) yards **4ply** *Gauge*: 28 stitches and 40 rows per 10 cm/4 inches with 3.25mm [US 3] needle in Stockinette stitch; 32 stitches per 10 cm/4 inches with 2.75mm [US 2] needle in 1x1 rib *Sizing*: Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) Finished Chest: 69.5 (79.5, 89.5, 99.5, 109.5, 119.5) (129.5, 139.5, 149.5, 159.5, 169.5) cm/27.25 (31.25, 35.25, 39, 43, 47) (51, 54.75, 58.75, 62.75, 66.75) inches *Yardage*: 376 (430, 485, 540, 594, 649) (703, 758, 813, 867, 920) meters 410 (469, 529, 588, 647, 707) (766, 826, 885, 945, 1004) yards
