I made a temp blanket for my Dad covering the last 12 months of my Mum's life. I crocheted hexagons and then joined them. The dates that were special - birthdays, anniversaries, etc - I made the centre round white. And the last one - the day my Mum passed - I did the centre round in black. All the rest were just the one colour. Dad loved it, and he is still using it 6 years later.

i actually made my grandma this realllly bad temp blanket when i was around 9-10 years old-she was turning 81 that year. i did the high and low temps for her birthday every year, added her wedding anniversary high and low temps. it was very “homemade” and had some really scratchy acrylic but she loved that blanket so much. i now crochet temp blankets for my cousins kids starting on the day they were born and ending on their first birthday. i’m planning on crocheting one for a friend for the day she got engaged ending on her wedding day. my mom is buried in a temp blanket made with the high temp for my birth year and socks i knitted her through her breast cancer journey. temp blankets are so meaningful ❤ it was also really cool to meet you at rhinebeck 2023! love from nj❤

Regarding color palettes, for the blankets I made for my granddaughters, I asked them what their favorite colors were and designed the color scheme around those. Each was strikingly different. The one I just finished for my son was designed around the colors in his living room (it was sized for a sofa blanket). Also, for his, I used a 5-degree spread since he lives in Southern California where there is only about 50 degree difference between summer and winter. That gave me a much wider color range and it turned out amazing.

Not making a temperature blanket this year. However, I loved watching you, + the kitties, go thru the process. My first temp blanket was a gift to my husband for the first year we were married too. It was a granny hexagon creation with the centre representing the weather. Hubby likes greens and blues so they were the hot and cold respectively and a natural for the freezing mark. All tied together with an oatmeal second round and join as you go. It's more lap-gan size but he loves it. We can really tell when our january honeymoon in Jamaica occurred!

this is going to be soooo gorgeous! i’m currently working on my “temperature” blanket for 2023, which is actually more of a feeling/mental health blanket. basically asking myself, “how did i feel today”, or “how was my day today”, and my colors corresponding to a scale i made :). i’m using your linen stitch granny square pattern and it’s coming out beautifully! had to make a small edit on the pattern and i ended up completely redoing this month’s square with slightly more vibrant colors (a range of deep blues, teals, and greens), and i am so happy i took that risk because WOW, it is stunning. so excited to see your progress on your blanket!!

I was thinking the same thing for my 2024 blanket-a mental health/mood scale. If you don’t mind my asking, how did you create your scale/gauge, and how did you measure each day? My uncertainty is how I can make it very clearly measurable. Also, how can I still get the amount of colors I’d like. 🤷🏽♂️ Any thoughts/advice would be super appreciated!

@@LiveWellLoveWell hi there!! i don't mind at all :) !! what i ended up doing was making the scale have 7 options: great, good, neutral high, neutral, neutral low, bad, and horrible. i assigned some nice colors to them all--i saw one crocheter (can't remember who) recommend making sure the low mood ones are just as good of colors as the high moods, so that you're not upset when you have to use them or anything, as a way of valuing all emotions/moods! for each day i would just ask myself, "how was today/how did i feel today/how did my day go?". i would just write down the answer for that day with the corresponding color. it took me some time to not overthink it, but once you get in the habit it's a lot easier to categorize how the day went! i actually ended up using emojis that were the colors of my yarn as a quicker way to write it down, just in my notes app! im in the process of finishing up this blanket, and it's gone wonderfully!! definitely one of my favorite projects to date :) the pattern i ended up doing was just using granny squares, 7 rows each, one for each day. i kept messing up the linen square pattern and didn't enjoy my colors, so i decided to change it! i used red, orange, greens, teals, and blues, with a nice wheat green for the connecting color. and the size is perfect!! my Ravelry is sardinemasc, and i have the project up on there if you want to take a look. its a really funky and fun palette, which i feel is fitting for recording emotions!! i hope you have fun planning & making yours :)!!!

I've really simplified mine, though. I use the weather app on my phone at around the same time each day and pick the coordinating yarn for the highest temperature. However, if there's been more than 2 days of the same yarn, I go with the lower temperature or split that temperature bracket into 2 yarns. I've decided that as it's my blanket, I want to enjoy the process, not stress myself out with specifics. Nobody is going to check up on me! 🤭🧶

I'm so glad I did a temp blanket last year, I learned so much. I love the pattern I was using, but I preferred something that was easier to count imho. And one of the things I changed was the temps, the lowest I had was 6c (technically I had one that was 0c - 5c but it never hit below that unless it was like 4am), but the highest for that low range was until 11c, so I didn't get to use the yarn a lot, thus for 2023 I've decided to shift it to 8c - 13c, because the lowest it got was 9c where I lived, whereas most of the time, the temp was hanging around the 12c - 17c I had and thus used up A LOT of yarn.

It's so weird how you are reading my mind! I've been SEARCHING for metal Tunisian crochet hooks. Haven't been able to find them anywhere. Thanks for talking about Sewrella's listing!

I am doing my first temperature blanket this year and had to spend some time doing this same thing. I had to double the width to make it more proportionate so it is going to be pretty large but I'm fine with that ( about 108"x108"). I picked a mosaic crochet blanket with different patterns so I could customize and decide the number of repeats to try and match the days for the year, the border will be the last day. I picked mosaic crochet because I thought it would be neat to use both the high and low temperatures. I use the low temp for the color A row and the high temp for the color B row. I'm pretty in love with it so far. I have a picture in my Ravelry projects but once I do my second full row repeat, next weekend, I'll tag you on Instagram so you can see it, since you inspired me to do it!

Thank you for outlining your process for designing a temp blanket! I want to design 3 of them for the year each of my kids was born but I don't want to end up with a tea towel size or a king size blanket. Math is not my strong suit but your system seems understandable, which is a blessing lemme tell ya! :) On another note my hubby watched the first season of Pressure Cooker and he was surprised at how it drew him in. He says the ending of the season is pretty good. :)

This is such an informative video! The best was when you said that historical data can be used. I know I should have known... I like to have an idea of what the final item will look like. I don't really like mystery quilts, etc and the weather that must still happen is that mystery. Yes, it can be fun, I agree, but that is me. You helped me decide on a period and I am in the process of designing my blanket. It is fun and I don't feel that pressure of, it is already Feb and you are only on the 5th of January ;) So, as soon as I have e something to show, I will. Thanks again!

I loved this tutorial. Can you do a pattern based off of yardage? I know this was a year ago, but the idea you mentioned made me want to do my first temperature blanket on the year I got married. I love that your videos are timeless and what you put out seems to come to me when I need them. I now have to start writing down all my ideas and future projects. I had never done that before, then again, I always worked and worked on one project at a time because that was all the time I had. Now I have a lot of time for coming up with ideas and you are the inspiration to a lot of them. I love this chevron pattern by the way.

P.S.- Your cat paw slippers (yes! I noticed them😉) are fabulous & I see that Peanut was kind enough to supervise your work but I hope he didn’t miss too many naps. 🤭

So I am sitting here in my car (because I just got out of church).. thanking God for patterns because I teach preschool and we don't do that fancy math. I am getting a head just watching you! I put away for a hand dyed yarn next year and will go for just the softest I can find in my price range. Thank you for taking the time to include all the details. You crak me up BTW.

You've given me so many good ideas for things to make, and taught me the wonderful art of Tunisian crochet, and I can't thank you enough! I hope to get a Tunisian crochet set soon, and already know what my first project will be (your mesa hat and scarf). Seeing this planning process is really helpful - while I've edited patterns for personal taste before, I've never worked up something more complex. I also never realized before how important a test swatch can be - and a couple blankets I made years ago suffered for the lack. Now I know! I've started a temperature blanket for this year, using your linen stitch squares pattern from 2021, and thank you for the idea and pattern! Though I've altered the row order a bit to incorporate the extra rows into the squares instead of all on the border. Each month gets a start square and a border in white, 30-day months get an additional white row between the 15th and 16th, and February gets additional rows after the 7th, 14th, and 21st. I'm also using 18 colors including the white borders - I wanted lots and lots of color variety! Of course, now we're having one of the coldest January's ever, so nearly half the rows have been my coldest color. Best laid plans...🙃
