How I Knit a Temperature Scarf in Just 1 Day

I totally cheated while making this “year long” temperature scarf project. I wanted to do something like a temperature blanket but that would have used way too much yarn and have been a project I would abandon for certain.
After deciding on the scarf I realized that if i wanted it to be easy and completed by the end of the year l would need a plan of attack.
I procrastinated and tge year zipped oast me and the last week i decided to get this oroject done!
I collected all the high temp data from my hubby’s weather station app, put all the data in a spreed sheet, then did conditional formatting so it would automatically color the cells.
This made it so easy to whip out the scarf in just a few hours. Yup, this is the cheater part of this story. I dont feel in the bit sorry either! I completed the temperature scarf and I’m proud if it. 😊
I divided my temperatures into 7 different colors - my part if the country is very temperate - we don’t drop below freezing very often so my cold color was the biggest range it was between 20-41° and I still only ended up with 14 days of the coldest color! The rest of the ranges were: 41-51, 51-61, 61-71, 71-81, 81-91, and then 91-115°
I used yarn from my stash and just picked colors that represented the temperature ranges - you could totally do this with more harmonious colors - all blues, greens, pinks etc. just make sure they range from datk to light- then do tge light colors as tge coldest and tge dark colors as the warmest.
I was thinking there might be a way to get historical temperature data for someones birth year to make a scarf or blanket as a special gift. I love how the random blocks of color appear and how it all works together.

Glad to know I’m not the only one who uses spreadsheets with automated coloring to plan patterns. Also glad I’m not the only person to think of using a weather station data set to make a temp map after the fact. Finally glad I’m not the only one to want to use a knitting machine for a temperature item.

Stephanie, that is fabulous! I love how you think, I would totally do it this way. I've seen so many temperature blankets, but had never seen a scarf. I love it, and so of course now I want one, lol. I would never have the patience to take the whole year and do it little by little, so this is fantastic! Thank you for all your creative ideas and for posting your wonderful videos!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

So happy that I am not seen as a cheater but as someone who works smarter not harder! I appreciate you being part of our creative community!

[@waltons-crochet]

😂😂😂😂Stephanie, this is such a great idea!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Lol! Thanks so much! I know lots of folks go temperature projects- I’m not the first and I bet a dozen donuts I’m not the first to do it all at one time- but I’m willing to let everyone know I did it in a day and not a year. Lol

[@melissastansberry6028]

Girl! If i wanted a temperature scarf , I'd be a cheater too!!❤ love it!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Lol! I think using the temperatures is a fun way to randomize any kind of stripped projects! So happy you enjoyed the video!!

[@monalcreates]

Fabulous project!! You're truly so creative Stephanie!!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

You are so kind my friend!

[@patshipp9195]

💖💖👍👍💖💖Thanks for this tip, I can make my daughters each one for the year they were born. 💖💖👍👍💖💖

[@lindabell7975]

Happy new year to you and your family ❤ xxx

[@SillySmiley94]

I've been considering a temperature scarf project! I love your result. The striping is pretty. ❤

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Thank you! I really enjoyed the surprise of color that happened when letting nature be the one in control. I hope you will give the project a try!

[@judyowens6753]

Beautiful! See this got the wheels spinning in my mind for Christmas presents for 2024. Thanks.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Awesome! Thank you! Have fun creating!!

[@judycooley1566]

Sorry for my one track mind, I love the scarf. I live in the South, so sadly mine would be a combo of very little blue, then a lot of red, light red, lighter red, and orange for fall.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Lol- That’s true, but, you can always choose the colors that please you and not make them related to the temperature color wise. You can choose your palette of colors and assign each color to a temperature range- if you want more color combinations make your temperature ranges smaller like 5° of temps for each color. Have fun and enjoy the process!

[@ginavinciguerra451]

So cool!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Thank you my friend! It may come in handy in the next few days- as it is supposed to get cold finally!

[@angileigh]

Genius!!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Thank you!!

[@maryjotilford6183]

I've been wanting to do a temperature blanket or scarf each grandchild for several years, this inspired me to begin planning for next Christmas.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@maryjotilford6183 that is an excellent plan!!

[@judycooley1566]

i purchased a row counter like yours but I am having a hard time getting it to register. What did you use for glue and what's under your orange counter?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

I used the clear Nano tape. I got it on Amazon. It is thick and double stick. You can stick the magnet and the sensor with the tape. I hope that helps!
