Who else is starting a Temperature Blanket for 2024?
My partner and I finally have all of our planning ironed out and did the math so we could get all of the yarn we needed while most of it was over 50% off, so stoked to get started on this journey!
I'm not sure what OP means, but I have heard of temperature blankets where someone knits or crochets a blanket with 365 rows. The color of each row represents the average temperature that day (or the high).
But it could refer to a more vague temperature color gradient blanket as well.
Good guess! You can base it on the average, high, or low. My partner and I decided to do the highs. Ive also seen people do emotion blankets correlating the colors to how they felt each day for a year, its a fun concept with a randomized out come.
OP, good luck!. Your color choices look great! This turned into a several year commitment for me. I'm 30 rows away from finishing my 2021 blanket. So much tendonitis. I used Lion Brand Hometown yarn. Color code:
102+ Red Tampa Spice
96-101 Syracuse Orange
90-95 Madison Mustard
84-89 Houston Cream
76-83 Oklahoma city Green
69-75 Key Largo Tweed
60-68 Washington Denim
59 and below San Diego Blue

I made a spreadsheet of previous years temperatures and played with the color ranges in hopes I would end up with interesting color variations.
I have to upload my photos to a free image hosting site then screenshot them there to share here since my phone camera is too high res to upload here. Hope you get it finished without too much pain!
I like the idea! I was thinking of doing a cross stitch like that...
if only it wouldn't trigger my climate anxiety. It's enough that we have late March temps at the end of December. I literally keep my windows open at home during the day.
