Sherlock's Wallpaper Afghan: A Bit of Baker St.
As filet crochet instructions can vary, along with personal preferences, I recommend googling “how to filet crochet” to find the technique that works perfectly with your unique style. This is a pattern chart only, with a basic how-to pdf added in a second file.
Worked directly from images of the iconic wallpaper, you can create a bit of Baker Street for your home. Use the regular view to make the flourishes solid while leaving the background empty and put it over a dark bedspread for contrast through the background, or use the inverted view to leave the flourishes as empty spaces while making the background solid so a dark bedspread would show through only the flourishes as the actual wallpaper appears… whichever suits your tastes better. The measurements given are for a queen-size bed which needs a coverlet of at least 102”wx116”h, but can easily be worked to fit a small twin or a giant king! Pattern is given in both standard and inverted colors for ease of reading and working as not all readers display equally.
Mesh count is 459w x 503h (11 flowers wide, 8 diamonds high)
