This scarf is a product of wanting to make and use a variety of Doctor Who themed knitting charts I’ve collected. Some I borrowed or adapted from other designers like Amy Shilling and Ruth Klein Cook. Others I created myself. This scarf is very similar to Amy’s scarf pictured on her pattern submission.

I also wanted to learn how to double knit and this scarf seemed to be the perfect opportunity. Double knitting is the neatest way to work Intarsia and Stranded designs, no visible floats on the back side! There is no front and back side, both sides show the same designs in mirror images.

Of course double knit means double thick, so I used thin yarn and small needles to create a skinny scarf that is not too heavy or too warm. I have quite a collection of partially used or mostly used up sock yarns in various colors and textures, so I used only what I had on hand to create this colorful portfolio of Doctor Who icons. It was fun deciding what colors to match together that would best bring out the design.

Making a scarf like this one offers lots of opportunity for creativity as you play with colors and mix and match charts.
