Doctor Who S16-17 crocheted scarf (3-27-2017 tables version) Sandra Petit, http://www.crochetcabana.com , http://gallifreyancrochetin.weebly.com/
(note: The picture shows sunshine rather than mustard and walnut rather than brindle)
S 16 - The Ribos Operation, The Pirate Planet, The Stones of Blood, The Androids of Tara, The Power of Kroll, The Armageddon Factor
S 17 - Destiny of the Daleks, City of Death, The Creature from the Pit, Nightmare of Eden, The Horns of Nimon
Materials: G hook, sharp scissors, large eye needle for sewing in tails
Yarn – I would suggest getting 2 skeins of all but the pumpkin and burgundy. You may not need 2 of the brindle, graphite and copper but better safe than sorry. If you make your scarf wider than 8” like mine you will definitely need at least 2 skeins of each. ☺ (original scarf was wider)
Colors change over time as colors are discontinued and new colors found. I highly recommend checking doctorwhoscarf.com for latest recommendations. BBC = new colors (UK Colors from Deramores) Purple = Knit Picks Brava Sport Currant, alternate Stylecraft Special DK Burgundy Camel = Knit Picks Brava Sport Almond, alternate Stylecraft Special DK Camel Mustard = Stylecraft Special DK Gold, Sirdar Hayfield Bonus DK Pumpkin Rust = Knit Picks Brava Sport Paprika, alternate Stylecraft Special DK Copper Grey = Stylecraft Special DK Graphite, MY alternate Knit Picks Brave Sport Cobblestone Heather Greenish Brown = Sirdar Hayfield Bonus DK Moss Green, alternate Stylecraft Special DK Khaki Bronze = Knit Picks Brava Sport Brindle, alternate King Cole Big Value DK Taupe
Note that the original S16-17 was made up of two scarves joined together, the original and the stunt duplicate. One is wider than the other. The stunt duplicate, as it appears today, is also colored slightly different. For my scarf, I made it all the same width and used the same yarn colors throughout. For reference, doctorwhoscarf.com notes that on the duplicate “the purple and gold are a tad brighter and more saturated, the brown is a tad lighter, the tan is less saturated, and the red is a wee bit darker”. Consult that site for more information.

Note: 88 stripes of colors, number of rows of each color (on this scarf only) as follows: camel 241, khaki 198, copper 159, graphite 142, brindle 123, pumpkin 96, burgundy 95 = 1054
Size: my scarf is 8” wide by about 18 to 19’ long without fringe original scarf was 10-12” wide and about 19-20’ (with fringe) long
I have noted where the pieces were joined together (in red) on the original scarf. If you want to add them, you could make one row of the suggested color or you could crochet the sections separately and join them with that color. I just skip it and move on to the next color. Since the originals are knitted, screen accuracy is already blown with a crocheted one. ☺
Gauge: 16 sc and 20 rows in 4” The inches are included as noted on doctorwhoscarf.com by Gene Fender for the first half and extended by me to match for the second half. Row count is based on my own gauge using a G hook and DK yarn. If you use different hook, different yarn, or have a different tension, you will have to adjust row count to get to the same size scarf.
Instructions: ch 36 (gives 8” wide scarf); note that original was 10-12”. If you want a scarf that wide you should chain a larger number. I would guess 45-50 - don’t forget to buy more yarn.
Work single crochet rows using ch 1 as turning chain. You can work over tails as you go if you like. I prefer to do them afterwards even though it is a monumental task. Where possible, I weave them in one direction then go up and weave in another direction.
