Product Description
This Dr Who inpoired shawl starts off with plenty of garter rows, broken up by bands of eyelets. Just when you get a little comfortable with the predictability of it, it breaks into a swirly lace pattern with a picot bind off to complete the edge. It’s a fun and interesting knit and I hope that you enjoy it!

Timey Wimey Shawl by Jennifer Tipton
What is Being Made
The Timey Wimey Shawl is a knitted shawl design inspired by the science fiction television series Doctor Who. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a wearable accessory that celebrates the show's iconic concept of time and the Doctor's character. The shawl is designed to be worked in a yarn specifically themed around the show's lore, making it an ideal project for fans of the series.
Craft and Technique Overview
This is a knitting project classified as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with some experience beyond basic techniques. The pattern employs a construction method that begins with multiple garter stitch rows as a foundation, which are strategically broken up throughout the design to create textural interest and structure. This foundational technique provides stability while allowing for the development of more complex stitch patterns as the shawl progresses.
Stitches and Stitch Work
The Timey Wimey Shawl features garter stitch as a primary structural element. Garter stitch, created by knitting every row, produces a reversible, textured fabric with horizontal ridges. The pattern incorporates multiple garter rows at the beginning, which are then interrupted by additional stitch work, creating a dynamic interplay between smooth and textured sections throughout the shawl's construction.
Materials
This pattern is designed to be worked in 4-ply yarn weight, also known as fingering or sock weight yarn. The designer specifically chose yarn called "Time Lords" discovered at the 2018 Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, though any 4-ply yarn in colors of your choice would be suitable for this project. Standard knitting needles appropriate for 4-ply yarn weight are required to complete the shawl.
Format
The Timey Wimey Shawl pattern is available as a downloadable PDF, allowing crafters to access the complete instructions digitally and print them as needed for reference during the knitting process.
