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.

If it helps, here are British university scarf colours: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxbridge_scarf_colours

The traditional Uni scarf isn't knitted but made of wool fabric.it

Edit: Not that you can't knit one, of course, but it would explain why it might not be easy to locate a pattern.

I'd be happy to just have a clear picture that shows the number of stripes on 2's scarf. And now I have a template! Thank you so much.

And yes, it does look like the scarves are woven. I suppose I could felt it, but I think a kniited version would suffice.

Thanks again.
