Odd Uses for the Patterns

Not everyone can pull off wearing a nine to twenty-six foot long knitted accessory.  And there will be times when you want to show your fannish preferences in a more subtle way.

These patterns are here to help you.

Scarf Ties

Here’s a pattern for a Season Twelve man’s necktie in fingering weight Brown Sheep Nature Spun.

It’s only slightly more complicated to knit than a scarf; there are selvage stitches to keep the edges tidy, and it is in very thin yarn on very small needles.

You will have a lot of yarn left over to try some of the other patterns on this page.

I’m thinking about a Season 18 tie, but in silk rather than chenille.

I’ll be experimenting with it over the next several months.

Kids, Babies & Doll Sized Scarves

Then there are the kids and baby sized versions of the Scarf. . .

Who doesn’t know someone with a teddy bear that could use a scarf?

These are scaled down versions of the Scarf; the Baby size is about four feet long,  and about three inches wide, the Kid size is about seven feet long and about seven inches wide.

Scarf Socks and Stockings

I saw a version of this on Ravelry.com and just had to do a pair.

These are toe-up thigh high stockings that will need a pair of garters to keep up.

You can also start at the toe, go as high as you wish and then do a few inches of ribbing to hold them up.

The Blue VariantBlue

There is a non-canon, but very popular, version of the Sixth Doctor’s Multicolored jacket in nothing but blues.

Several people have knitted a ‘Blue Variant’ of the brown scarf (and there’s at least one gray scale version).

This is mine.

Kyrina on LiveJournal was the direct inspiration for this pattern.
