How To Make a Temperature Blanket ✨in 2021✨

[@Krusher115]

I'm doing a temp blanket but for my first year of my marriage! It'll start on my wedding day and end on my first year anniversary!

[@LetsGetKnitFaced]

Love that idea!!! :)

[@official_foxy5449]

Aww that’s a fab idea I think I’m Going to pinch just got married myself so think it’s a lovely day to start on and end on 1st year anniversary :)

[@historichomerestoration90]

Love this idea!! If one was halfway through their first year of marriage, could they just look up the previous temperatures and go from there?

[@BollywoodBonanzaB]

Same!!!!!

I’ve been looking at lots of Temperature Blankets Tutorials & this is the best one I have seen by far (& the youngest teacher I’ve seen)!!! Thanks for all your help!!!

[@emilyquesnel1386]

I’m starting a mood blanket (same idea but different colors for different moods) later this week! I’m starting it on my 18th birthday and hopefully starting a new one on my 19th! I think it will be a really cool way to track things like stress and excitement through milestones like college applications/decisions/acceptances, senior prom, graduation, college orientation, etc! I’m so excited about it

[@sophiamorales3519]

I am doing one for 2023 so excited this helped a lot

I like this idea but rather than temperature, I'd like to do a "mood tracker" blanket with one color = one emotion like you can see in bullet journals!

[@DeStCh61]

When you said you would need to start out with 300+ stitches, my mouth dropped to the floor! It would take me a long time to crochet one row! Hahaha! One of these days I will make a temperature blanket. I'm saving this tutorial so I have something to look back on when I'm ready! Thank you for sharing!

[@jlhmyers75]

Perhaps a color scarf instead of a blanket?

[@DeStCh61]

@@jlhmyers75 Good idea! Thanks!!!!

[@barbarameyer649]

That's why I might go by week instead of day using bigger stitches. Or you could do square s

[@annetye]

I'm making one for my brother and his fiance in shades of green because that is their favorite color. I'm excited to see how that one turns out this year.

[@passiveroyal7288]

I love your colour palette!! I'd love to make one all shades of blue

[@LetsGetKnitFaced]

thats sounds pretty!!

[@BellaLouisaatje]

I'm making a blanket with granny squares and I chose to make the first row the coldest temp of the day and the second the highest temp. I stitch them together with an off-white colour. I'm making one of the temperature where I live in the Netherlands

[@LetsGetKnitFaced]

Such a good idea!!!

[@lindaorosco2428]

I started my first temperature blanket on December 1, 2020. I wanted to capture three months for each season - Winter (Dec/Jan/Feb), Spring (Mar/Apr/May), Summer (Jun/Jul/Aug), and Fall (Sep/Oct/Nov). I also wanted to choose colors that represent each season according to the temperatures. After much consideration, I ended up with Winter (ice blue, dark blue, deep purple), Spring (fern green, lilac, cotton candy pink), Summer (aqua, fire red, deep ember red), and Fall (mocha, burnt orange, mustard). My coldest temperature is set at -30C. and my warmest temperature at +25C. Increments are by four degrees. Each month will be separated with a row of black, so I can see at a quick glance what different parts of the year looked like. The problem with where I live is that Mar/Nov, Apr/Oct and May/Sep have similar temperatures. Needless to say, it's going to be an interesting piece of work by the time I'm done. So far, in December, I have only one row of 'winter' when the temperature was -16C. I also have one row of 'spring' (yes, in December!) when the temperature reached +9C (just seven days later). The rest of December is a combination of Spring and Fall colors. My blanket is first on my mind when I wake up each morning. I can't wait to check the temperature from the day before to see what color I'll be using. The row takes no time at all to add, but that's ok... I have other projects to keep me busy :) Thanks for sharing your video. I'm now a subscriber!

[@shynushaji1416]

😍 waaa I would love to see this

[@elizabethtaylor8366]

I’m a novice knitter, and was completely confused, until watching your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Btw, just because you’re on the younger side, doesn’t mean anything. We never stop learning, and we learn from our youth, too.

[@LetsGetKnitFaced]

Thank you for this comment :)

[@lenoraberendt750]

I really love the pastels you chose. It will be a beautiful blanket! 💕

[@sashaswitz4315]

I was going to say, "I wish I could do this but I live in South Florida..." but then the PSA about changing the temperature gauge gave me hope again! I'll definitely be making one this year.

[@Sooperb666]

Same. South Alabama here.

[@teresagutgesell860]

Just “tighten” the degree range for each color!

[@RMurrell31]

Okay, I’m impressed with your math. I’ve never understood or even thought of how gauge is determined….but now after watching your YT channel I do and it’s fascinating. Overall, your explanation of the temperature blanket was very clear. Kudos to you.

[@skylowe7038]

I’ve always been curious how to figure out what size you need to make for a proportionate blanket and this was really helpful!! Even for someone who failed math!!

I’m starting my now even though it’s the middle of the year and 9 PM

[@raegantanner5522]

I live in Texas where I could probably make a temperature blanket just for one week since the weather fluctuates so much throughout the day. Super excited to start this project!

[@LetsGetKnitFaced]

lol yes, but yay!! your blanket will look cool with all that color

[@emilygauthier4000]

I’m starting a temperature blanket for my pregnancy and have chosen browns creams and greens for my colors so it’s a very earthy blanket 😊

[@SeaJay4Tea]

I'm doing the same for mine, but I've made mine complicated by dividing the temps by 5 😅

I might go by the week...52 rows, a nice lap robe.

[@krystenaprince5800]

So neat! I want to try this!! Also, you have beautiful eyes!

If you live in Texas like I do. You better get used to a color for 4 months because summer is already in the 100s. I am learning this for my temperature blanket.

[@lorrainecotton5414]

I'm choosing colours for my temperature blanket.

[@katiemiles7430]

I'm trying to get my thoughts together for a temperature blanket. I just recently heard about them in the last couple of months. I have been trying to make my chart for temps and colors. It's slowly coming together. It's so good to see this video from someone so young. Glad to see that some of the younger crowd is picking up crocheting and knitting and running with it.

[@arianamacias8062]

I’ve never heard of this before. Maybe I’ll try it too? 👀

[@sweetpeaer]

I am just planning one a month into the year. I also live in Midwest but scaling down on size by planning to do "quarterly" strips of temperature and them put them all together-Jan to March/April to June etc.... I am estimating a blanket about 50 x 50 in size in moss stitch.

[@teresagutgesell860]

I was thinking about doing 1/2 rows so it’s not a mile long!

[@VioletClematis]

I just recently learned about this kind of blanket, and will be making one, but not sure if this year, as I already have many irons in the fire. Thank you for your tutorial. It was very informative.

[@Passiekassie]

Thank you for the explanation of calculating the size. I'm going to start on one for next year, my very first one. Not going to do a rainbow however because it doesn't fit with my room theme so I will do 2 beige, 2 greens and 2 browns as my palette for a moss/earthy/cottagecore kinda vibe. Just 6 colours because I use Celsius but I like having some randomness so I think I will do the maximum and minimum temperature of that day. If my blanket will be too long then I will just finish it halfway the year and start a new one so I have a set of 2!

[@ninowin1737]

I’ll definitely do it in 2023

[@gloriaash7511]

Nice! I really like this tutorial and how well it was explained.

[@cuppy3874]

You know this made me think of a mood/habit tracker blanket. Different blues for water habits. Different white to black for depression/anxiety tracking or like white for yes i did (habit) black for no i didn't do (habit) negative or positive habit etc. I like mood tracking in a bullet journal but it's not very engaging or fun It's like boring logging for me. This could be more fun, crochet a granny square a day for a month or two, and a row a day for a year.

[@Swaneye]

Love the use of math in real life! -says the middle school teacher!

[@opheliaw.5167]

one of these but in all reds / pinks / white for the first year of a relationship / marriage

ive never crocheted but I bought some yarn and I already have a hook so im very excited 😃😃 i have lots of experience with knitting and sewing so hopefully it will go well 🥰 i live in the south of england and ive chosen 5 colours that suit my personality: (in celsius) 30 or more: rusty red 24 to 29: mustard yellow 17 to 23: cream/ warm white 12 to 16: dark green 6 to 11: light muted green 5 or below: mocha beige (im using the highest temperature of each day hence why the lowest is 5 or below) original comment was in early feb 2021 im pretty sure EDIT 6 JUNE 2021: im still going strong with my blanket and it looks so cool, ive left year 11 now so I have 3 months to catch up as i haven't been consistent since before exams, ive just finished up march 🥴 but I love love love how this is going and I'm determined to finish it on new years eve :))

im excited to make my first blanket in 2021! not a temperature blanket though, its going to be granny squares. i like the idea of a row to represent each day but maybe for a different metric? not sure what it would be but i might do something like that in a future year. mood seems to much of a decision about how you feel. cloud cover could be fairly random?? in blues and whites? ooooo i am having ideas now lol. i like the video!

[@g.nypaver734]

Great tips my concern though is the size. It seem awfully big. I want to make a throw size blanket so I will be adjusting that. Also I agree the primary colors of the rainbow are pretty hard to do so that it matches or coordinates with one's home. I intend to do it on the green blue colors teals etc and maybe a few tans.

[@wizzy2201]

I've been thinking about starting a temperature blanket this year as well. I love the colour pallet that you have picked out! At the moment I’m trying to decide on the colours that I want to use. Maybe I’ll go with autumnal colours (burnt oranges, mustards and dark greens)? I also haven’t gotten the hand of crochet so I’m going to try and find a nice knitting pattern to use (: Hopefully I won’t get bored of it and stop halfway through 😂 Wishing you the best of luck on your blanket!

That color scheme sounds pretty! We can do this!!

What happens to the "Rainbow" pattern when the temperature is an unusual temp? For example: middle of winter you get a fluke day where it's 50 degrees? And vice versa in Summer?

Thank you! But I suggest finding, using, and recommending a different resource for charting past temperatures; this website is incorrect by 6-10 degrees, consistently. e.g. It was 107 degrees (F) when I got married as well as when we brought our son home from the hospital and this website doesn't reflect those high temperatures for the given zip codes. I want to compare to the government's weather data, but their website is currently down for maintenance (conveniently lol).

I am happy you used math, but I must point out that it was an overly complicated amount of math specifically here: You created and solved a proportion - but you did this to find out how many inches is in 7 feet. You got the correct answer of 84 inches, but you could have just multiplied 7x12 to get that answer.

[@allieg6401]

I'm going to sound really stupid but school was a while ago... How did you sold the equation? Multiply, divided? Bc from the diagram your just swapping the bottom for the top numbers and putting the 2nd one in the first spot after switching the top and bottom numbers... Math was never my thing and I had trouble in school.. *EDIT* *OK* I figured it out there IS NO algebra, because you decided on 7' and 12x7=84 I think next time you might need to explain it a little more for 2 year olds like me. 😕 I feel even stupider now because it was so simple. 😣
