Temperature projects, usually blankets, have been hit & miss in their popularity, but they have made a huge comeback!

This Make-along (MAL) will help you plan, start, keep track, and finish a temperature project of your choice:

• knit, crochet, spin, cross-stitch, or weave
• granny squares, mitered squares, entrelac, stripes, corner to corner, center out, lace, Tunisian crochet, there are so many options
• spin a color a day and chain-ply
• whatever item you think will work with 365 days of temperatures
• work using the high or low temperature of the day
• choose any year from any city using Weather Underground (search for the location, then click on the history tab to choose the timeframe)
• choose how many colors/temp range you want
• choose any yarn; weight and colors you desire

This is a completely customizable project!
Make gifts for family members commemorating a special year; great for birth years, anniversaries, etc.

Have you ever wanted to make a temperature blanket? Or perhaps a cowl, scarf, or table runner as a gift?
Temperature projects are so unique and customizable:

• Anniversary year
• Birth year
• Graduation school year
• Any other period of time that you would like to represent

Craft:

• Knitting
• Crocheting
• Weaving
• Tunisian crochet
• Cross Stitch

There are so many options when it comes to a temperature project, jump in and see what you come up with!

• Any weight yarn
• As few or as many colors as you desire
• Could be a good way to use up stash yarn

I have made a bundle on Ravelry of project ideas, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg, Temperature MAL Bundle

Additionally, here is a link to the “Temperature” search in patterns on Ravelry.
