Knitting the Dr. Who Scarf… with a magic twist!

What if Madame Nostradamus, our “witty little knitter”, wanted her OWN scarf? Things are gonna get properly nerdy with this one. Strap in – I have no chill!

Here is the video by  @stanceymackenzie  ~ https://youtu.be/8jtD-A3TKgc?feature=shared

Here is the website where the pattern is freely available in various yarn weights, by inches, and also by season etc. ~ http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com/

Yarn from https://www.jamiesonsofshetland.co.uk/

Note ~ my knit gauge was a little tighter than called for in the double knit weight, so I used the inches chart. I preferred the slightly denser look so I didn’t bother adjusting my gauge too much.
