When Jon Pertwee reincarnated into Tom Baker in 1974, the Fourth Doctor transformed into a "romantic adventurer" with a floppy felt hat and a 12-foot-long multicolored scarf.
The legendary multi-colored scarf became a fashion icon for children, bringing many UK grandmothers together with their grandchildren, spurring widespread DIY recreation.
The costume design process saw hues streamlined later in Season 18, leading to a 20-foot scarf that complemented Baker's swashbuckling appearance and endured through the series.
The BBC documented detailed knitting instructions that were sent to fans in the early '80s, showing the lasting impact and popularity of the Fourth Doctor's style.
