Tom Baker Scarf

The first knitting project I ever completed was to knit a Tom Baker/ Doctor Who Scarf the pattern for which I got online but can no longer find. I recently made a second one for a friend and it took me the best part of a year and a half to do, such a large project requires a lot of dedication and patience and is difficult for people with comparatively short attention spans like myself.






It's actually quite a good first project as it's ambitious because of the length but the pattern is so varied and not very strict so if you make any mistakes no one will notice.

Wool - I used double knit. There are 7 different colours used in this Scarf and you shouldn't need any more than one 100g ball of each colour.
The colours are- rusty brown (RB), mustard brown (MB), grey (G), sunshine yellow (SY), purple (P), rusty red (RR), olive green (OG).

Needles - 5.5mm


cast on 45 st and knit in garter stitch for the whole body.

This is the pattern that I used, however I have found a much better pattern online which I wish I had found earlier. It also has patterns for Tom Baker's other scarf's that he wore during his time as the Doctor. This is it >> http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com/

Happy Knitting!
