Gigio is a t-shirt/blouse with a very simple shape, but with various options that can add all its charm. Knitted with a summery yarn, your knit will be soft, flowing, and fresh.
It is knitted seamlessly, top-down. You start knitting the yoke for the back then fronts are picked on the bottom from shoulders. Then, the body (back and front) is worked in round with cable pattern in the center front. The neckline is picked up and knitted in the round. The sleeve stitches are picked up and worked in the round in rolled stockinette stitch. Several options are available: embroidery, buttons, and a fitted blouse effect.
