I am not really a big fan of Dr who and watch it without too much interest or care but was confused when he kept talking about Jelly Babies, well now I am confused no more for those of you who do not know what a jelly baby is… it is indeed a UK sweet or lolly or candy (depending on your nationality) that Dr who uses for energy, I guess it’s his kind of trail mix.
It seems that Dr who has a side kick after all it is the infamous jelly baby that is getting it’s very own cult following by Dr who fans. If that was not enough for the Dr who fans I have included some links below to other free Dr who patterns including the Dr who knitted scarf pattern.

Vintage Knitted Coat Pattern PDF – Pembroke Coat
Oh, this one has proper old-Hollywood winter charm.
The Pembroke Coat is a vintage knitted coat pattern that instantly made me think of crisp winter walks, leather gloves, polished boots, and the sort of coat your grandmother would have casually worn while looking impossibly elegant. It has that beautiful longline shape, a classic collar, button front, sleeve tabs, pockets, and a smart plaid-style design that gives it such a tailored finish.
This is not a quick “knit it while watching one movie” sort of project — and honestly, that is part of the appeal. The Pembroke Coat is one for knitters who love a satisfying vintage knitting pattern with a proper garment construction feel. The updated PDF includes the original vintage reference image along with a modern mockup, which makes it much easier to picture how this coat could look in today’s wardrobe.
I especially love that this pattern still feels wearable. Made in grey, camel, forest green, burgundy, or navy, it would be a gorgeous handmade winter coat with that timeless “where did you get that?” look.
As with most vintage patterns, I’d recommend reading through the instructions first, checking your gauge carefully, and being prepared to make small adjustments for fit and modern yarn substitutions. But for confident knitters who enjoy heirloom-style projects, this is a really lovely one to add to the queue.
You can find the Vintage Knitted Coat Pattern PDF in the CraftGossipStore on Etsy.
A jelly baby is exactly what it says – a baby shaped candy made out of jelly. It’s similar to a fruit jelly candy and not as hard as a jujube. It doesn’t stick to your teeth either. They are very fruity and can be found at any English candy store in your area.
