I have not done this one yet, I am still working on the first one!!!
But I do know it is supposed to be shorter than the other one.
For your information the multi-colored scarf was originally 17-18ft.
long in the show, but I believe there was really more then one
multi-colored scarf and the later ones were shorter.
Good luck!

I agree completely! (I eventually knitted a second one because my first set of colors was so far off) > > The 1980 season scarf. > > Size 7 metric needles. Don't know the American size. I used size 8 here, but size 10 for the the 7-color scarf. > <text omitted> > I have not done this one yet, I am still working on the first one!!! > But I do know it is supposed to be shorter than the other one. The apparent shortness of this scarf occurs because of the way it is worn, draped from ankle to neck to ankle to neck to ankle (2 very wide loops). Mine required an extra half-loop to hang so that it didn't drag the ground, but I attribute this to a slight over-estimate in the number of rows that constitute an inch, and the fact that Tom Baker is 7" taller than me :-). > For your information the multi-colored scarf was originally 17-18ft. > long in the show, but I believe there was really more then one > multi-colored scarf and the later ones were shorter. The first season scarf looks (to me, at least) to have been the shortest, and I have heard that it was stolen fairly early on. Note also that a scarf (particularly a long one) will stretch over time, and this may well contribute to the image of there having been more than there acually were.

A friend of mine was practising for the original scarf some years ago. Her first attempt was a 4 color scarf about 12 feet in length (at the time, she didn't have the pattern). Her second attempt was an all-gray Killer Scarf. I never saw it fully extended, but did suffer internal injuries once when it was dropped on me. Some enterprising folks measured it once. The length was something like 43 feet. I didn't know the Master ever wore a scarf... jeq
