What are temperature blankets.
Temperature blankets are fun crochet or knit year long projects that record or depicts the year’s temperature fluctuations. The project is made by working one row of one round every day. This is not an intensive project but it results in a beautiful blanket at the end of the year.

However, you don’t have to be limited with the current year’s temperatures. Temperature blankets can be customized to record your personal moods through the year, weather patterns as opposed to temperature {such as rainy, sunny, cloudy and misty days}
You can also customize your temperature blanket to the temperatures of a completely different year that was special to you. It could be a past year such as the year you were born, the year you got married, your kids’ birth year or any year with special memories. It can even be the temperature of a different location.
This makes temperature blankets so personal and you can create something that will always be a part of you.

Traditionally, temperature blankets were made using single crochet rows with shades of red and oranges depicting hotter days{high temperatures} and blues depicting cold or low temperatures. Despite the fact that these colors are still widely used, you can pick your personalized colors for each temperature.
There has also been a rise in using different crochet stitches in making temperature blankets as opposed to the simple single crochet. Some also use different crochet squares for the temperature blankets and we shall see these in the list below.
