Fourth Doctor Scarf

🧣 Welcome to the Fourth Doctor Scarf Project – A Timey-Wimey Crochet Journey Through Space, Stripes, and Geekery!

This is where my crochet hook meets the TARDIS. I’m documenting my ongoing mission to recreate the legendary Fourth Doctor’s scarf—all 12+ feet of gloriously oversized, stripe-filled chaos. Inspired by the classic Doctor Who look worn by Tom Baker, this handmade fan project is part tribute, part therapy, and entirely impractical in the best possible way. 🛸🧶

Whether you’re searching for yarn substitutions, curious about adapting the original knitting pattern into crochet, or just here for the ridiculous joy of tracking 53+ color changes (and a surprise cameo from a fez-wearing Clippy), you’re in the right place.

You’ll find:

  • Yarn haul breakdowns & color matches
  • Behind-the-scenes progress posts
  • A custom-made crochet tracker to follow along
  • Future updates including knitting machine and hand-knit versions

So grab a cup of tea, scroll through the adventures below, and join me as I stitch my way across the Whoniverse—one absurd stripe at a time.

“Because who needs sanity when you have 53 color changes and a sonic crochet hook?” 😄
