This pattern was designed for the Old Maiden Aunt yarn club, Autumn 2012 and was made available to non-club members in January 2013.

The patterns and yarn colours take their inspiration from late Victoriana – especially the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

“Baker Street” is named for the lodgings of Sherlock Holmes and his good friend Dr John Watson located at 221b Baker Street, London. In Arthur Conan Doyle’s day, this was a fictitious address. Today it is the address of the very splendid Sherlock Holmes Museum and it is a good place to spend a foggy London afternoon.
