Come Season 18, costume designer June Hudson rethought the entire costume and streamlined the colors to three: rust, wine, and purple, to match the Doctor’s more swashbuckling look.

Patterns: The Doctor Who Scarf has patterns, yarn recommendations, and full-color instructions for all the show’s scarves. The original scarf only lasted a few episodes, then was altered, replaced, and subtly changed as the show went on.I’m excited to try my hand at another Who scarf with this new (to me) crochet stitch, mainly because it looks so much like knitting, you would have to look very closely at it to tell the difference! I cannot decide what I should charge the people who want me to do them … They do take a good bit of time.

To add authenticity to it all, she included her encounters with each scarf and how she got permission to study them!If I finish this, I’m hoping for 10-14 feet as I am only 5’4″ tall, it will be my crowning craft achievement!
The BBC Creates Step-by-Step Instructions for Knitting the
The above memo isn’t dated, but comes from sometime in the early ‘80s when the BBC sent detailed instructions to a fan’s mother on making the scarf. The Doctor would wish you good luck in your knitting adventure…but there are Daleks behind him that need defeating. I loved making the scarf and for me the best part was following the ‘official’ pattern, which while not 100% accurate, is as close as you can get.Well, now I’m learning Tunisian crochet, and discovered the Knit Stitch (TNS, it’s usually labeled – though there are at least a dozen other names it goes by, too), so now I’m trying to work up the same kind of thing I had then, to keep track of all the widths and change. However, through the years yarns have changed so that you could probably use Red Heart or Vanna’s Choice (which will be considerably cheaper) to make the scarf.

The Doctor's worn cool bow ties, cricket jumpers, and questionably-colourful jackets, but Tom Baker's supremely long multi-coloured scarf is the quintessential Doctor Who accessory.I swapped a couple of suggested colours for my own choices and was happy with all except the rust/red colour. When Tom Baker was cast as the Doctor, costume designer James Acheson picked up a load of wool and asked a knitter Begonia Pope to knit a scarf for Tom. The mistake was perfect, and suddenly many UK grandmothers were being asked by their grandchildren to recreate their hero’s look. To me, the ‘dumb’ ones would be the people (especially other Who fans)that criticize WHO fans for ANY reason at all. The first one will be my pattern, and while I wear it I will have plenty of time to make one closer to the original.
