Method 1
Arms separate from body
Main piece
Head
Using skin colour: Round 1 - magic circle 6 Insert a safety pin or stitch marker to keep track of the row beginning as you go. Round 2- 2 sc in each st around = 12 Round 3 - [sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st] around = 16 Rounds 4-6 - sc in each st around = 16 Round 7 - [sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog] around = 12 Round 8 - sc2tog around = 6 Round 9 - sc in each st around = 6 Carefully stuff the head.
Shoulders, chest and tummy
Change to body colour:
Rounds 12-13 - sc in each st around = 14 Round 11 - [sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st] twice, sc in next 2 sts = 14
Round 10 - 2 sc in each st around = 12 4- sc in next 3 sts, [2 sc in next st] twice, sc in next 5 sts, [2 sc in next st] twice, sc in next 2 sts = 1 Add a little stuffing to the shoulders now
Legs
Change to pants colour: Rounds 15-16 - sc in each st around = 18 Round 17 - [sc in next st, sc2tog in next st] around (work into the inside loop of each stitch to make a ridge) = 12 Round 18 - sc2tog in each st around = 6 Break yarn leaving a long tail. Pull tail through last loop on hook. Thread with needle and pick up the six sts, pulling tight to closethebase.
Arms
Using skin colour:
Round 1 - magic circle 5 Round 2 - sc in each st around = 5 Pull magic circle tight. Break off yarn leaving a long tail
Make coat (see decorative details section) before sewing arms to body. Sew arms to their positions on the body to correspond with arm holes in coat. Skip to pages 9-14 for decorative details.
Method 2
Arms and body as one piece
looks complicated but faster once you have the hang of it
Main piece
Head
Using skin colour:
Round 1 - magic circle 6 Insert a safety pin or stitch marker to keep track of the row beginning as yougo. Round 2 - 2 sc in each st around = 12 Round 3 - [sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st] around = 16 Rounds 4-6 - sc in each st around = 16 Round 7 - [sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog] around = 12 Round 8 - sc2tog around = 6
Shoulders

Change to pants colour:
Add a little stuffing to the shoulders now.
Legs
Round 15 - sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next 2 sts, sc in next 7 sts, 2 sc in next 2 sts, sc in next4sts=18 Round 16- scin each st around = 18 Base Round 17 - [sc in next st, sc2tog in next st] around (work into the inside loop of each stitch to make a ridge) = 12 Stuff the rest of the body. Do not tightly stuff the base of the legs. Round 18- sc2tog around = 6 Break yarn leaving a long tail, and pull tail through last loop on hook. Thread with needle and pick up the six sts, pulling tight to close the base.
Decorative details
Finishing details for the body
Coat
After making your body by one of the above methods, you may like to thread the remaining long tale with a needle and take it up through the body, out the head, then back down again to the base, pulling gently then securing yarn. This make the Doctor shorter, and easier to stand up. You can also shape his pants a little by weaving back and forth to distinguish the legs. See below panel for tips on turning at the end of a row. Using coat colour: Row 1- ch14 Row 2 - turning ch1, sc in each st = 14 Row 3 - turning ch1, sc in next 3 sts, ch5, skip 1 and sc into next 6 sts, ch5, skip1 and sc into next 3 sts = 22 Row 4 - turning ch1, [sc2tog] twice, sc6, sc2tog, sc in next 6sts, [sc2tog] twice = 17 Row 5 - turning ch1, ss in next 6 sts, hdc2tog, hdc in next st, hdc2tog, ss in next 6 sts = 15 Break yarn leaving a long tail, and pull tail through last loop on hook. Sew in ends.
Eyes
Use sewing thread to black seed beads for eyes.
Weave out and in many times to secure the beads, and when they feel secure, exit the top of the head and tie ends together for extra security (this knot will be covered by the hair).

Hold wig to head as shown (seam downwards) and make a series of small random stitches to sew the wig to the head (and emulate curly hair). Keep going until Peter has a convincing coiffure! Trim the back of his hairdo to allow some ends to be free (make sure to leave the loops at the front of his face uncut). I forgot to add eyebrows, but feel free to try it out!

Hair
Top Piece

Remove the cardboard from the centre (you may need to cut it out) and press flat.
Back Piece
Make another piece the same way, this time using card measuring 8cm x 4cm /_|4cm 8cm Wrap the brown embroidery thread again, but this time carefully sew across the top line, sewing both layers together.
Adding hair to head
Add the back piece first, then the front piece by sewing down the part and letting one end hang as a fringe, and the other cover the left and back sides of his head. Add some stitches to make different parts of the hair go in different directions (suggested stitches illustrated in pink on diagram). Use your judgment in seeing what looks good. Cut the loops to separate the ends of hair, and give it a little trim if needed.

Round 3 - ss in every st around = 12 Round 4 - sc in every st around (outside loop only - makes a ridge) = 12 Round 5 - sc in every st around = 12 Round 6 - ss in every st around Round 7 - 2 sc in every st around = 24 Round 8 - ss in every st around = 24 Break yarn leaving a long tail, and pull tail through last loop on hook.
Scarf
This scarf is made by a series of half-hitch knots, which makes a neat scarf with no need for weaving in ends. Take a length of 40 cm length of the 7 scarf colours. Tie a very tight knot at one end, leaving a cm or two free. Take a safety pin and attach the knot to a secure surface (for support while knotting).
Take the colour required (green first for example), and make a half-hitch around all the other threads (as pictured). While holding the other threads firmly towards you, draw the green thread gradually up and tighter until it forms a small tight knot at the top of the scarf. Continue following the guide. The numbers indicate how many knots of each colour to use before changing colours. Tie a tight knot at the end of the Scarf when pattern is complete. This should be long enough to go around the neck and down to the ground.

"A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting"(TheTimeWarrior)
Putting on the undercoat & necktie
Put on the coat, tugging each arm securely through the arm holes. Sew the coat closed at the front. Cut off any loose ends. Take the necktie and wrap it around the Doctor's neck with the row ends to the front. Let the tie curl naturally (as above) so that it makes a ruffle at the front. Sew in place. Use the long ends of wool to make the sleeves (below).
Sleeve Ruffles
Using an end of white wool from the necktie, exit at the top of the sleeve. Make a small stitch near to where you started and just as you are pulling the stitch closed, enter through the loop the stitch created (like blanket stitch). Pull stitch firm (but not too tight). Repeat the process around the sleeve, making loops and them going through them and pulling firm. Pull on his overcoat, and cut off any loose ends.
