The Genova Basil Top is a simple bottom-up project that blends delicate lace with clean ribbing for a look that’s both modern and effortlessly elegant. It’s the perfect pattern for knitters looking to explore lacework, with a design inspired by summers on the Italian coast — the lace motifs evoke the graceful shape of basil leaves swaying in the warm breeze.

The Genova Basil Top is designed to be worn with either a close or slightly relaxed fit. For a snugger fit, choose the size that most closely matches your bust circumference. For a looser fit, select a size 5 to 10 cm larger.
