Greenbrier Knit Shawl Pattern

The Cletus and Jenn Mystery Make-Along: A Winston Brothers × Marly Bird Collaboration

What if you could knit the exact shawl the characters are making in the book? In Home and Heist, the next Cletus and Jenn mystery from bestselling author Penny Reid, Ashley and Jethro are knitting this shawl. Now you can knit right along with them.

Greenbrier is a rectangular shawl full of floral and foliage-inspired stitch patterns. The stitches are easier than they look and incredibly satisfying to knit one clue at a time. As for what it looks like finished… that’s the mystery!

As Cletus would say, “Absurd is another word for fun.”

How the Mystery Works

The pattern releases in six clues. Each clue unlocks the next section, and you discover the finished shawl when you knit the last stitch.

  • Clue 1: Oct 27
  • Clue 2: Oct 30
  • Clue 3: Nov 3
  • Clue 4: Nov 6
  • Clue 5: Nov 10
  • Clue 6: Nov 13

Knit each clue as it drops, or save them all up and knit on your own schedule. Your access never expires.
