The Doctor's scarf had been wound about Stimson's corpse by his Foamasi killer in an attempt to frame the Doctor for the murder. ( TV: The Leisure Hive) Shortly after regeneration, the Twelfth Doctor commented that he used to have a scarf when noting that he felt cold, but dismissed the memory as he considered the scarf as having looked ridiculous. ( TV: Deep Breath)

A stunt/duplicate version of the scarf was also created that was later used as the primary scarf and ultimately became half of the super-long scarf starting in Season 16. It is ostensibly smaller than the original and has some subtle differences in the pattern. It's narrower at only 60 stitches. For the most authentic replica of this particular scarf, I recommend switching to smaller needles to make a smaller finished size. The colors are very slightly different, though this could be due to differing amounts of wear and fading compared to the original. As it is today, 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. A color guide might be added later. The Seventh Doctor used the tartan scarf from his newly found outfit to stall the First Rani as he tried to escape her laboratory. ( TV: Time and the Rani) The Doctor replaced the lost scarf with a paisley one in the TARDIS wardrobe. ( PROSE: The Useful Pile) There were many scarves used during Tom Baker's era. This included a considerably shorter "stunt scarf" for action sequences. The pattern and colouration varied from season to season, as did the overall length of the scarf, which, at one point reached a maximum length of 24 feet. The Fifth Doctor admitted that the scarf was warm and sometimes useful, though he occasionally tripped on it; his companion Erimem noted that it was so long she could practically mummify herself with it.

Just for fun, I will suppose that the number of rows is the “significand” and the color coded base 60 number is the “manissa”. The scarf appeared in the Matrix on Gallifrey when it was used to prevent the Doctor from falling down a cliff face. However, the scarf disappeared not long afterwards. ( TV: The Deadly Assassin) Shortly after regenerating from his third incarnation, the Fourth Doctor accompanied Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart on an investigation. He tried on several conspicuous costumes before settling on a Bohemian outfit. This included a wide-brimmed fedora and a long scarf. ( TV: Robot) The scarf was originally knitted by Madame Nostradamus ( TV: The Ark in Space), according to one source, as a gift for the First Doctor.

You might find these colors dark - especially the tan. Studio lighting and video recording often made the scarf seem lighter than it is. The hues in photographs also tend to wander. Less about color research... Yeah, it’s a lot of work, but to a true #4 fan, it’s worth it. Something you obviously don’t understand. Manufacturers often seem to arbitrarily label the gauge of their yarn. They are not to be trusted. The reality is that there are many incremental gauges to say the least of the differing textures and number of plies. This creates further headaches for those of us who like to mix brands, but the updated suggestions are refined to categories for easier compatibility. Some yarn choices appear in more than one category. There is a little wiggle room in the gauge of these, but you should not experience any radical differences. The number of tassels changed as the scarf was damaged and repaired, but it started out with 12 (proven by a photo at last!). By Season 13, the now gold end of the scarf still had 12 tassels, but I haven't quite nailed down the number for Season 14. The stunt duplicate has 11 tassels. Tassel instructions are planned to be added to the knitting tips section. Near the end of this incarnation, the Doctor switched to a longer scarf, but coloured in shades of burgundy. ( PROSE: Into the Silent Land) However, his original scarf was kept on a hatstand in the console room. ( TV: Warriors' Gate)The scarf was used as a lead to drag K9 about when his power had run down. ( TV: The Invisible Enemy) The Eleventh Doctor threw one of his scarves out of the way while in the TARDIS console room when he was searching for his sonic screwdriver. ( COMIC: Sonic Sleuth) According to Tom Baker, when a woman named Begonia Pope was asked to knit a scarf for the new Doctor, she was unsure how long a scarf was required. She consequently used all of the wool she had been given, resulting in a ridiculously long scarf. The producers loved it and, after it had been shortened slightly, used it for the Fourth Doctor's first story Robot.
