Queston Re: Number 2's Scarf

[evilawyer]

Hello. I quite like the 1960's TV show "The Prisoner", and wanted to make a knitted scarf based on the scarf worn by Leo McKern's Number 2 for my partner. I wasn't able to find any actual patterns for the scarf on line (apparently it's a school scarf), but I did look at stills from the show that featured various Number 2s and their scarves. Everybody's but McKern's seems easy enough to recreate in some fashion, but the striping on McKern's looks different than rest, and I can't quite figure out why from the pictures. Does anyone out there possible have/know where I can find a pattern or a diagram of McKerns' scarf? Thanks.

I have some links to McKern screencaps in my notes on my desktop at my office, but I do have this one that does a pretty good job showing Peter Wyngarde's version. His seems the standard; McKern's looks wider or seems to have more white stripes, but not all the time.

I'll update this reply with the McKern links tomorrow. (If I can figure hiw to do a screencap from a DVD, I'll include that, too, but I'm dreadful at that sort of tech thing.

ETA:

Whoops! That link to the blog with the Wyngarde scarf screencap is http://permissiontokill-filmreviews.blogspot.com/2009/04/prisoner-checkmate-1967.html.

Maybe it's just that he isn't actually wearing the same scarf?

I want to knit the scarf that Dominic Deegan wears, but I keep running into the problem (if you can call it that), that the artist draws him in black and white. And doesn't, y'know, necessarily always put the dark and light stripes in the same order at the ends... :-D

Darn that artistic license! It gets in the way of good knitting!
