You’ll enjoy knitting this elegant shawl wrap with a lacy body and scallop border.

The enjoyable main lace pattern reminded me of fresh basil leaves, hence the name!

Pattern is written, with a main body chart.

Notes:
Center of shawl is knit as a diagonal piece beginning at the corner and increasing to the center point, the mirror half is shaped with short rows. The border is continued from the bottom edges.
