Highline 
A sideways-knit arrow construction, this three-color design features a mosaic  Greek Key pattern in the center, with simple stripes along each side. Pattern can be work in lace weight up to aran weight yarn.  Please note that the mosaic section is worked only from charts.

Acknowledgements:  The mosaic contains elements from a stitch pattern found in the Barbara Walker Treasuries.

I chose the colors for this duo of shawl designs, The New Yorker, while watching a brief documentary on the illustrator Christoph Niemann. A whimsical abstract artist, his accomplishments include quite a number of cover illustrations for The New Yorker magazine. He says that his favorite colors are yellow and black, yellow being the perfect color for New York, which was the first city he moved to...[This shawl gives] a nod to Mr. Niemann and his interesting depictions of dynamic city life.  --Melanie Rice
