21-year Temperature Blanket
Just finished a 21-year span temperature blanket crocheted over the past few months (the first version got damaged and I had to start all over again). Each strip is one year. Each 6-stitch row in each strip is one day. Colors are max temperature for each day. We lived in 4 different US states. This commemorates our married years so far. Red heart yarn, mostly single crochet except parts of the border. 4.0mm hook, yarn under/yarn under. 🧶 Some mistakes were made, but I love how it turned out.
Pattern: Each day is one row: Single crochet (US), 6 stitches, chain 1, turn. Change colors as required by the maximum temperature for each day. After all 364 rows, the border in black is sc on the sides and dc on both ends of each strip. Stitch year strips together in black yarn with an embroidery needle. I don’t include leap days. I then did a border around the entire blanket: 2 rows sc, one row (green) dc, one row (yellow) sc.
