2022 Temperature Blanket - Made in a Week!

Ah New Years - the time when people set resolutions, leap into January with fresh optimism and say "this is the year I will track the weather every day! And crochet (or knit) 1 row of this blanket every day! And never lose motivation or frankly forget that I'm doing this and now I have a huge bag of yarn and a half-finished blanket and I've lost track of what days are and I forget what I was doing and I'm hungry"
Well, this year I skipped all of that and just went straight to the end - I made a whole year's temperature blanket......in a week!
I cast on 268 stitched and crocheted a seed/linen stitch for 365 rows (obviously). I used a size I/9 crochet hook, and the final blanket came out to 54" x 72" (not including the tassles).
100% recommend, will do again. I'd just make it a wee bit wider next time.
Here is a tutorial by Hooked by Robin of the crochet seed stitch used in this video: • If You Only Learn ONE ...

It’s gorgeous! ❤ When JoAnne’s had a big yarn sale not too long ago I bought a bunch of yarn that I knew was destined for something great. This is it. 😁

Love this! But I can not crochet!

[@melindaartrip1502]

Loved the use of excel! Also great way to fill in gaps for the tassel

Best temperature blanket video ever! I too love spreadsheets, crochet, and your supervisor too. Curious as to how close you came to a complete stash bust?

[@TheMayu]

Pretty close! I de-stashed about 90% of the yarn - of course I’ve already filled that void since last year 😂

[@sarag1158]

as soon as you busted out with the vlookup I knew you were down with the Excel. i love Excel, but I love crafting more.

Ditto to this 🎉😂

I'd been hearing about these but hadn't bothered to look them up. That's really gorgeous. And I love the concept.

[@TheMayu]

Thank you!

I lost a tooth chewing on a tassel once.

[@idablondie100]

What size hook do you use?❤

[@TheMayu]

I used a Size I9 - 5.5mm hook

[@bridgetplunkett7630]

That's a lovely stitch that you are using for your blanket. What stitch do you use?
