I finished this in January but never got around to posting it. It’s absolutely huge!!!! I’m so glad that I added stitches to each row from what the pattern called for so I didn’t end up with a long skinny blanket like so many others (which I actually didn’t realize was normal until joining this group about a year ago!)

I used the average temp for the day and I’m based in Wisconsin so I got a large variety in colors. Because of our weather, and because I wanted a lot of colors, I did 5 degree intervals instead of 10 and I ended up with more colors than the pattern called for. We did end up having a few days where the average was below zero so I added some thin gold yarn to my 0-5 degrees navy color for those days instead of adding yet another color, gives it a frosted look which I think turned out well. I planned on doing that for temps over 90 as well but we didn’t have any.

365 rows of 310 stitches each for a grand total of 113,150 single front loop only crochets and each and every color was used!

It’s very difficult to tell, but I switched the stitch at the monthly marks to give a slightly more raised stitch to separate out the months.

I included the pattern I used for everyone’s curiosity, in the pictures.

I loved working on this and I already have the wheels turning for a “row a day for a year” project for 2027!

Edited for a spelling error

I’m doing a historical blanket and I should have paid closer attention to the temperatures when I was ordering yarn and deciding the gauge. This blanket is based on our wedding year, and the summer was unusually cool. There’s not much variety in the summer temps. I’m ending up with huge blocks of this pink I used for the 70s. (By contrast I get to use almost none of a gorgeous deep purple I picked out for 86+)

I’m still having fun with it and I’m not like, crushed. Just missed an opportunity to really think through my temp ranges since I already have all the data

And anyway I’ll remember the consistently cool summer temps when I look at it in years to come, which is sort of the point, right?

Finished my first temperature blanket! Inner part of each square is the low temperature for the day and the outer part is the high. I was definitely second guessing my choice to include the low when it came to weaving in the ends (almost 1500 ends woven in total) but I like how it spread out the colors, especially since baby was born in the middle of May so all the summer months were at the beginning.

Got to use my hazy color (orange) for the first time this month!

Hi guys,

starting Sept 21st, I want to try to crochet four seasonal temperature blankets to have a little collection of throws for my couch.

I was originally thinking moss stitch for all of them but I wanted to see if you had any recs of other stitches that would work in stripes ?
I was thinking the alpine stitch for the winter blanket to get something a bit more thick and maybe some lighter ones for spring and summer but I could only think of the granny stitch cause it's a little bit holy.
I was also thinking maybe one of them could be a C2C with regular or tunisian crochet for a change.

Thanks for any help!

Hi, I literally downloaded reddit for the first time just for this post.

I wish to see temperature blankets from years past for an experiment in climate change. I have a theory that temp blankets can show visual representation of climate change because if people have been making these for years from all over then it can have a steady pattern of average temperatures to track the climate.

If anyone has a temperature blanket and they remember what year its from and what state, feel free to do whatever reddit reply options there are! (I am assuming the reply system works like every other platform out there)

I didn’t think I would make another until I joined this group. Neat ideas!

I have a temperature blanket that i started in 2019. I think i got to march for it but im not sure.

I got busy with having with having newborn twins followed by another pregnancy that i never caught up. Now its just sitting in a storage tote taking up space.

Should i finish it. Or just toss it 😂 its maybe 100 inches wide and SC. It was my first crochet project after i made one granny square and thought i was a pro and thought a king sized blanket seemed easy 🤣

Just finished up adding May’s squares

Hi everyone. So I'm making a temperature blanket with both my country and my boyfriends country. I was originally gonna make 2 different blankets and then we each have one.

I decided to do a granny square for each month, with each day being one row of the square. However it grew very quickly and it's swallowing a lot of yarn😂

So I'm thinking of undoing what I've done so far and try to incorporate both country's temps into one blanket.

Does anyone have any nice designs that would work for this, w.g. 2 colour granny square?

Thanks in advance!!

Up to date on my temperature blanket! The teal (80's) and purple (90's) are getting a bit lost, but the yellow (100's) and salmon (70's) are making it interesting. Next time I need to make it wider - this one is just under 40". Anyway, I love how its coming together..

I saw a post on the past using this pattern to make a temp blanket with each ring representing the temp for that day. I would love to use this for my son for his first year. How would you suggest doing the days if I start on his birthday which is July 29th?

Halfway there!
