Temperature Blanket — First Project of 2019

I don’t know if any of you crocheters or knitters have seen the temperature blankets that have been around for the last several years, but I decided to make one this year.  The basic idea is that you take a range of colors and do one row on a blanket in the color corresponding to that temperature range each day.  At the end of the year you have a blanket representing the year’s temps.  I found most of my inspiration on Pinterest.

I’m doing my own variation of this.  The pattern I decided I wanted to do will never handle 365 rows because each “row” is actually a two row repeat.  My plan is to make one for the first part of the year and then if time and finances allow I’ll make a summer blanket and a fall blanket.

These are the colors I selected.  I found my yarn at Hobby Lobby.

I’ve established my start of my pattern — Can you believe we had 70 degree weather on January 1st?
