This scarf is the result of someone asking me to knit him a ‘Private Pike Scarf’. I have not yet seen the new Dad’s Army film, but for those of you who can remember the original (or have watched the re-runs), this is my attempt at duplicating the scarf. There is, of course, no reason why you cannot change the colours either to match your favourite football or any other team or club or just choose any three that appeal to you. This scarf can be knitted in any worsted weight yarn.
