This pattern is a Mystery Crochet Along that runs April 30th through June 4th. Each week the pattern will be updated with a new clue that will be delivered through Ravelry.

If you’d love to join in the mystery but don’t have time for a shawl, check out the Joan Cowl here! It will also be released at the same time and the Joan Shawl!

I have to confess that while I LOVE Sherlock Holms, I’ve never read any of the books. I have, however, watched every show and movie out there. My favorite is the series Elementary, where Watson is a woman and is played by Lucy Lou. It’s such a great modern take on the story and Joan Watson dresses so boldly. I absolutely love it. Inspired by a twist on a classic, the Joan Shawl is a highly textured, colorful take on classic shapes and fabrics. I hope you absolutely love coming along on this mystery!
