A temperature blanket, weatherghan, 4 season blanket – whatever you’d like to call them, is a fabulous way to record nature’s changes in a year long project. It’s like a journal made from yarn!
At its simplest, a temperature blanket is a visual representation of a year’s worth of temperatures. You create a temperature blanket by crocheting a row of stitches or a motif each day based on the day’s temperature.
You can make a blanket for a whole year (you’ll end up with a large one) or you could do one for a period of time, a season, a pregnancy, anything.
