Official Instructions for the Fourth Doctor's Scarf

Actor Tom Baker played the fourth known incarnation of the Doctor (below) from Doctor Who. According to an internet rumor that I cannot verify, this document is the BBC's official instructions for knitting the Fourth Doctor's iconic scarf. Get out your sonic needles and go to work.

I had a scarf like that back in the day. Not quite as long as the Doctor's. Was needed on those sub-zero days in CNY.

Trivia: The original, iconic scarf wasn't intentionally designed, but rather "a happy accident".
I could see a memo like this made for creation of later scarves.

This is old, outdated information, and highly incorrect when paired up with the original. The best scarf information and accurate colors and counts is at http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com in association with the Facebook Group Stitches In Time.
