A simple-enough sock inspired by BBC’s Sherlock.

Don’t be put off my initial impressions of CoBaSi: While it may seem rather “crunchy” in the skein, the knitted fabric it creates is deceptively soft and luscious. The elasticity of the yarn makes it fabulous for color work and helps keep your tension looking even.

This is the first of two Sherlock sock patterns and is meant to be worn with its mismatched counterpart, a pattern I’m still working on called “The Baskerville Tip”. The completed pair can be viewed here.

If you find any problems with the pattern or find anything confusing, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
