This pattern makes me think of fields of tulips with row upon row of brilliant flowers so I named it after the area in the Netherlands famous for their tulip fields, Lisse. Hopefully, one day I will get to see them in real life.

The shawl is triangular and is knit from the top down with increases on every right-side row, worked at the edges and on each side of the center stitch.

I used a lace weight yarn I had spun from a blend of 50% merino, 25% bombyx silk, and 25% camel. The fiber was dyed as a gradient but I think the pattern would be lovely with a solid.

Warning - the pattern has not been test knitted by anyone other than myself so there may be errors. Please let me know if you find any and I will post a corrected version. Thanks.
