Variations on a scarf

[laialda]

Hello fellow crafters/knitters/crocheters! I've had an influx of versions of the 4th Doctor's scarf flow from my crochet hook over the last few months and I thought I'd share them. :)

Your half-length version looks very cozy! And the doll scarf is ADORABLE. :)

Thank you! I worked really hard to keep that tiny thing as accurate as possible so I appreciate the compliment. :D

I made a tiny teddy bear (knitted) version of the scarf several years ago, so I know how much math and intricate work goes into it! Great job. :)

Thank you! :D I'm quite proud of the doll scarf since it took me several attempts to make it the right size.

Charming all around!

I keep envying those crocheted dolls. Are they as fiddly as they look?

[laialda]

I've been making them for several years so I don't think they are, but my friends, who don't crochet, do. You have to plan out how you want to make the layers, and then it's only as complicated as making small crocheted pieces and sewing them on the doll base in the right order.

Four here, for example, has a tweed body for his waistcoat with 2 tiny 4 stitch long triangles that lay over a piece of white felt for his shirt. Once you add on the large square for the jacket so that it frames the front, you get the illusion that shirt is under a waistcoat, which would lay under the jacket.

There's more pieces to it obviously, but gives you an idea of how I work. Just depends on if that sounds complicated to you or not. *shrugs*
