Good morning!  This shawl is named after my paternal grandmother, Coletta LeGrand.  She taught me the stitch which she called "Lark's Head".  I have seen this stitch in several places with other names.  But for me, it will always be the Lark's Head.

Coletta’s Shawl


Pattern  Stitch = multiple of 4 sts + 1

Each color is worked for 2 rows.  This pattern lends itself very nicely to 3 colors or using up scraps.
