This pattern was inspired by the TV show “Sherlock,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. It features a chart pattern with 10 colors. The listed recommendations are all shades of gray. The number of colors makes this pattern ideal for cross stitch, but you can adapt the chart colors to different embroidery floss colors. I’ve included an approximate stitch count of each color as well, to aid in your adaptation of the pattern to different crafts (such as melting beads or other mosaics).

If you’d like something a little different, or if you would like a REAL portrait of your own, I can customize it for you--just send me a message!

The pattern DOES NOT include instructions for any actual project adaptations.
