Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Time travel can be chilly. For that reason, seasoned practitioners sometimes sport curly mops of hair and a robust scarf—or at least, one of them did. In the annals of space-time transportation, few are as legendary as Tom Baker's Doctor Who. And in the ranks of time-traveling neckwear, none is as well-known as the good doctor's scarf. Show biz being show biz, several mufflers actually wrapped Who's neck over the course of Baker's tenure. The first established the pattern: lengthy, colorful, and striped. The second grew more complicated, but maintained the multicolored tassels and scarf-on-steroids length. Season 16's pattern, with its brightly dyed bands, is our most favorite. And the final iteration must have pleased those who liked their hero in more sober hues. (Potential knitters note: "The tassels should consist of the orange and burgundy colors only... (no purple).") Whatever your preference, you can follow these cheerful directions to knit your own. Blue police boxes not included.
