Child size Doctor Who scarf

Yes, it's another Doctor Who scarf. LOL This one is a "child size" Season 13. I worked it off the general pattern at Witty Little Knitter though in crochet, of course.

I used an I hook and chained 22. I used 7 strands for each of the 7 fringe. Have I mentioned how I loathe making fringe? I have to say it does add to the look, doesn't it?

Finished size is about 6" x 98" including fringe" which is actually longer than my first "adult" wide scarf made with an H hook.The thinner width is better for a child, though I like thin scarves myself.

It's quite a respectable size for a scarf though probably on the short side for a Fourth Doctor scarf.

You might be wondering what the difference is between the child and adult size scarves. Well, I'm glad you asked. I will tell you. The stripe numbers are exactly the same until you get around the middle-ish. Then there are 5 stripes taken out - 5 rows grey, 3 mustard,  7 rust, 3 purple, and 16 bronze which is a total of 34 crochet rows or 34 knitting ridges (68 rows).

Yarn used was
Purple - Vanna's Choice Burgundy
Camel - I Love This Yarn lt taupe
Mustard - Bernat Waverly Gypsy Gold
Rust - I Love This Yarn Terra Cotta
Grey - Vanna's Choice Charcoal
Greenish brown - Vanna's Choice Taupe

Bronze - Vanna's Choice Toffee

Happy crocheting!

Who s13 scarf and fringe

As I was working on my Doctor Who scarf site, I realized I had no photos of my Season 13 scarf. As it turned out, I did complete that scarf but it was during Hurricane Isaac and I was a tad busy then. That is also when I received my knitted scarf so I neglected to post photos of the season 13 scarf. So here are catching up photos.






Finished size of this scarf is 7 1/2" x 95" without fringe. It was completed in September.

Since this is so long ago, I don't remember which pattern I used, but I had a tag on it which said I used an I hook and chained 26.

Colors used:
Purple = Vanna’s Choice Burgundy
Camel = I Love This Yarn light taupe
Mustard = Bernat Waverly Gypsy Gold
Rust = I Love This Yarn Terra Cotta
Grey = Vanna’s Choice Taupe
Greenish Brown = Bernat Waverly Bark
Bronze = Vanna’s Choice Toffee

Then I put some fringe on existing scarves which were given to family members who are big Who fans. I have mentioned previously that I don't put fringe on my own scarves because I don't care for it. What I didn't know is that I am not actually fond of making fringe, particularly with multiple strands. LOL Well, something learned this week! But this fringe was made with love and I hope the recipients will enjoy their scarves.



I added some photos of Who earrings I've gotten and tweaked a bit on the scarf site. If you need more Who, visit Gallifreyan Crochetin'. I in no way try to compete with any of the existing sites. This is mainly a place to put my own experiences up and highlight my stuff. Just as when I began Crochet Cabana, I often need a reference so I can remember what I did previously. This site is that memory aid for making scarves.

I don't include any patterns there. That's been done quite well by other sites. Since the scarf is a tangible thing which can be seen on any of the fourth Doctor's episodes, viewers can make educated guesses about colors and row counts of the knitted scarves. UNLESS you are one of the fortunate few who have seen the actual scarves. I bow to their expertise.



Happy crocheting!
