Nerds love knits! Well at least the ones I know. And crochet too. At the sci-fi conventions I've been to, there have been plenty of busy hands crocheting and knitting away. While we weren't all working on what's come be called geek knitting, I know I wasn't the only one working on a Dr. Who scarf while listening to filk. I've gathered some free patterns I've found around the internet as well as patterns and books for sale for fans. These would be great for costumes, toys and just for fun. Enjoy!
I'd never heard of Dr. Who before I met my husband. I agreed to knit him a Dr. Who scarf not knowing what I was getting myself into. It's quite long as you can see.
He found the website Doctor Who Scarf which has patterns from theTom Baker seasons with different scarves. I made the season 16/17 scarf. When you browse the site and click which season page you want, click the purple tab on the page and you'll be taken to the color layout and row counts.
