I love the idea of doing a baby blanket featuring the month a child is born. Small project, small temperature ranges, tied to them specifically. Another abbreviation version is to do a pattern that works for 104 lines and do the high and low each week. Or a temperature scarf.

[@diediedice]

You're so real for that haha. Thought the same until I saw someone do a granny square one with the high and low temperatures of every day. I ordered 8 colors from Claude Monets Sunrise painting and I can't wait to start mine when they finally arrive next week👀

[@rajithagopal9830]

Wow . Instead of temperature blanket , i could have made a mood blanket to record the highs n lows in the first year of motherhood. Would have been fun

[@Middle-Road.Kim.K]

I already know my "why" - make a blanket while there are still cooler temperatures _to_ record.

[@Ynattirb73]

Depressingly accurate

[@Middle-Road.Kim.K]

@@Ynattirb73 I almost took down my comment cuz I didn't want to be "that person"; however, I do feel a temp blanket created 'in the moment' would be a family heirloom with historic value.

[@aimeewalters4861]

Could be more depressing, I made a covid case snake for the National Women's History Museum journaling project.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Temperature blankets were originally created to be a visual representation of climate change, so you're right on track. I've noticed BIG changes to the temperatures of my blankets year over years.

[@oliviayeates3931]

I live on the Northern California Coast. Days in the high 70s (F), let alone 80s or more, are pretty rare, but I've definitely noticed more of them occurring over the years

[@loremistressanna]

I haven't done a temp blanket before. I'm thinking of doing one for this upcoming year, because it will be our first year in our house. But instead of temperatures, I'm thinking of calling it the kids' choice blanket, and let my kids rotate choosing the color of the week/day from my pallet. I have four kids, so I thought that would be fun!

[@SunCity95]

I like your idea 👏🏼

[@pattiray8542]

That’s a wonderful idea!

[@lucy-anndale2822]

What if, like typical kids, they pick their fave colour every time? Love the idea though!

[@blu.berrii]

@@lucy-anndale2822 maybe taking out the colour they pick after they pick it for that day/week could be a compromise ?

[@tracywilliams5779]

I think that is a beautiful idea. Tracy

[@rebeccadoty5864]

So my sister and I used to live next door to each other and now we live 1100 miles apart. She taught me to crochet 30 years ago!❤ We are planning on making temperature blankets this year together!!! We picked out a pattern together, collaborated on colors and temp chart and are ready to order supplies!! This why of doing it with someone even far away and seeing how each one is different is so exciting to me!!! Can’t wait to see what the end looks like December 2024!!!

[@Janne_Mai]

I'm making a mood scarf because I can't crochet that much every day, I'm a new crocheter and my hands aren't used to it! I like it because I'm not sticking to a "one row a day" schedule - if I want to pick it up and capture my mood, I can, but I don't have to. My scarf, my rules!

[@aimeewalters4861]

I did a case snake for a journaling project for the National Women's History Museum. I tracked the number of covid cases in the USA from the date of the first known case until my first vaccine. I've never crocheted something so meaningful for me.

[@rayneeday814]

that’s amazing ❤

[@marietteestabrook4098]

Show us! Pleeeeeeeeze!

[@aimeewalters4861]

@marietteestabrook4098 you can see it in the microsite. It's a division of the National Women's History Museum website. Look for the Covid Journal Project, then in the search criteria, you can search by state. I'm from MS, and we don't have many entries. I think I did the only physical project.

[@aimeewalters4861]

@marietteestabrook4098 it's in the microsite. It's a division of the National Women's History Museum website. If you run a Google search for National Women's History Museum and Covid Journal, it should be the first result. In the microsite, you can browse all journals, then search by state. I'm from MS, and the project is classified as multimedia.

[@ThePinkHusky]

I really needed the “my blanket, my rules” mantra! I’m such a rule follower by nature and almost needed someone to give me permission 😅 I’m starting one now so this video was perfect timing. I am a new subscriber but I love your videos!

[@valeriehowden471]

I love the first temperature blanket i made for my husband a few years ago. It was a history of our first year of marriage - starting on our wedding day, including our honeymoon to Jamaica in the middle of a Canadian winter. Very obvious colour change. It was 2 round hexagons so more like a lapghan. Kudos to anyone who completes a temperature blanket in real time!

[@SomeoneWhoCrafts]

My advice for a temperature blanket first timer is do what you can each day, even if that’s nothing for that day! And don’t be too hard on yourself. Also it’s about the journey not the destination and a Temp Blanket is a jog not a sprint if the that makes sense… ❤

[@sabimidz]

Perfect timing 😊 my mom is turning 60 in 2024 and I was thinking about making a temperature project. Maybe the temp of all her 60 birthdays. This makes for a smaller project that I can 99% finish before her day in september 👍

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Oh woooow! Pulling the temp on her birthday from years past? What a brilliant idea!

[@samanthakirkpatrick8981]

I’m thinking that there wouldn’t be that much variation in temp from one birthday to the next cause your birthday is always in the same season like mine is late July it’s always gonna be 95-115 here lol

[@sabimidz]

@samanthakirkpatrick8981 i don't agree. We have great variation in temperature in Denmark in september 👍

[@Kaliia]

​@samanthakirkpatrick8981 depends on where you lived. My mom was a military brat, was military herself, then married a military man. We have everything from Turkey to Panama To Alaska 😉

[@cassiefitch5521]

I've always thought of a temperature blanket as a cute idea but a daunting task I knew I'd never finish. But you gave me the idea to do a little stuffed animal for my kids. I can check the temperatures for when I was pregnant with them and have each kid have the colors match their time in my belly so they will be unique with the different seasons I was pregnant and for how long.

[@kal-muzel875]

Ooo this sounds so much fun! Hope it been going well for you! I did think of making a stuffed animal but i ended up overthinking how id work the days into it

[@jadenfrank436]

I never thought I would do this type of project, but I’ve started a Formula 1 “temperature” blanket. Where the top three racers of each round determine the first 6 colours. It’s for my brother and it’s taking forever, but I’m excited:)

[@Fluttermoth]

I've never heard of a temperature blanket until today, but a few years ago I did an oil painting of the view from my window every day for a year. I wish I'd seen your video before I started! I did finish it, and it turned out to be one of the best things I've ever done, but it was a huge commitment, and I did struggle some days, especially in the last couple of months.

[@TheOnlySnaps]

My fave was the person who did this, but with their poos. Cracked me up! I want to do a blanket for the first year of my relationship with my husband! And then leave it in my guest room!

[@nancy.padawan]

I'm working on a temperature scarf this year and after getting this far, I wish I picked a different stitch. I would suggest making a bunch of swatches of different stitches, letting them percolate for a while, and then picking your stitch. I rushed into it and I regret doing that. So I'm going to work on another scarf next year and this one will be a wall hanging after I crochet or knit a border around it.

[@mrslsix]

I started my 1st and last temp blanket on my 59th bday to commemorate my 60 year journey. I made it for my queen bed and used colors usually associated with the temp range. My mistakes were making the project to big, and using colors that aren't my usual pallet. This year I decided to do a historical temp scarf for the year and city I was born. I will use a pallet more to my ascetic. It will be a more manageable project and I am already looking forward to wearing my history. Thank you Toni for all the information, inspiration and support.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

So excited to see how it comes along! I hope you'll share it with us :-)

[@sandibergstrom711]

My daughter and I are crocheting a Temp blanket for the year 1924 for my Dad's 100th birthday this fall. We are making it in mitered granny squares laid out in 12 monthly blocks just like a 1 page printout of the year. She is also having a book made explaining the blanket with a printout of the calendar with the temps and colors. I watched this video and it gave me the idea, we just had to plan it out and start crocheting in batches!!! Thank you for all the great and informative videos that you create. You have really helped both my daughter and I to improve our skills. I just purchased new tunisian hooks and sent her my original ones to learn on now that she is better at regular crochet.

[@nancyjhudson]

I have so much yarn, I don’t think I’ll ever use it all, but a temperature blanket is a great idea to use some of that. I’m going to start planning one soon. I live in Arizona now, where it’s hot most of the time, but 64 out of my 69 years were spent in New York. I was born, raised, got married, and had my children there, so I might be doing a historical one or two or three 😂

[@RocketBabyDolls1]

I have done a temperature snake for the year my kiddo was born, I loved that it was a previous year so I could just chug along and had it done within weeks (only picked it up between other projects). It's so much fun to do, I really liked the planning and picking colors.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

I love that idea, and I bet it's so cute!

[@terev.]

I think you've inspired me to make a nature blanket with colors to mark the passing of seasons and the temperature ❤

[@candacethompson7235]

This is exactly what I do

[@hannah_gurumi5426]

Just watched this whilst working on my july square of this years temperature blanket. It's my 3rd and I really love doing them. I'm doing all blues this year, I've done pinks and purples for my daughters birth year and a traditional rainbow one for last year

[@janicep4047]

Working on my 1st temp blanket right now, historical for my son's 1st yr of life. Doing granny squares high temp, low tep, and jaygo. Really loving it!

[@bessevaraven859]

I want to do 2....a quilt for daily and a crochet for a baby blanket size. The quilt is going to be English paper piecing not sure if I want to do Hoxie or pentas.

[@beingagift]

Toni!!! 620k!!! What a pleasure to craft with you and watch you grow!! The crafting community is so lucky yo have you be a great contributor!! 🎉

[@TheNolasunflower]

The casual temperature makealong sounds exciting!!!!!!! I have not made a temperature blanket before and the makealong sounds like something I would like to be apart of.

[@CathyPope-sb4xj]

I made a temperature blanket on a whim…rather, my daughter just happened to mention the idea…I took it and ran with it….i did absolutely no reasearch…just bought yarn and started. Since I live in Louisiana I realized that there would be periods of like temperatures. I used average daily temps. That worked fine until July. I had divided the ranges in 10 degree intervals because it doesn’t get super cold here. The problem was that I realized I was not going to get average temps in the 90’s, so I adjusted my warmest range to five degrees. It worked out well. I did weave in ends…my pattern was simple…single crochet one row per day using 4 weight acrylic. I bought leather tags and tied them on at the first of each month. In 2023 my daughter, (again!) suggested seasonal placemats….i did do some thought and planning and realized that wasn’t going to work for me. So since I have a relatively small table, I decided to make seasonal table runners. I picked four colors for each season, and made four table runners…just 90 rows each…who am I kidding…I’ve only completed two and two-thirds of another. I realized after starting the winter one I realized that I started with January, 2023, and would not be able to get the December data for a year…ooops! I am very happy with the colors I chose, and you have inspired me to pick up the last two runners and complete them. I used a more textured stitch for the runners, it worked well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, creative gifts, and most of all, your joy!

[@JustMeandCrochet]

Toni, these were great tips and I totally agree with you when you said there are no rules its your blanket. This was my first year doing a temperature blanket. I went with a Sampler blanket where every month was a different stitch and 1 row every other day. I have stayed on track and the blanket is not too big. I'm thinking about doing a historical one for our 50th anniversary in 2025 but I want to work on it in 2024. Thanks again I know this video will help alot of people because it sure helped me plan for my next one.

[@anais919wastaken]

I have set a strong goal to complete my first temperature "blankets". I'm working on three years to yarn bomb a pillar in my library. The panels will all be 84 inches (height) by 13 inches (width). I'm doing the year the library system was established (1936), the year my library was opened (1963), and the year the library re-opened after the fire (1977). Thank you for this inspirational video! I feel like this is doable and will wow my fellow library workers and our customers.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

This is a truly adorable idea. Please keep us posted!

[@Acquilla7]

Oh, this gave me ideas. I was always put off by the whole blanket focus, but that snake amigurumi is right up my alley. Might see if I can find some colors I like and start one on my next birthday.

[@deucaliakat]

I’ve never thought of making a historical blanket. That would be a really thoughtful gift for birthdays. Thank you!

[@rushingwater2.0]

I've been crocheting for three years and I think I'm finally gonna bite the bullet and make a temp blanket This is really helpful for my ADHD brain when it comes to motivation because planning something makes me really wanna see it through to the end Looking forwards to it :3

[@calinac1671]

I am not a fan of making blankets or anything related to that but I love watching your videos and seeing the positive vibe you have when approaching projects. I love watching your videos even when they’re about things i have no interest towards or any intent on making.

[@Runner656]

Going to make one for my brother's farm with the temps being his local temps in shades of blue! He deserves an awesome blanket in his very cool 120 yr old farmhouse!❤

[@sunnydays07]

I so ready to make a temperature blanket for 2024!!

[@rgmartin1040]

Living in Colorado, if I were to use Happy Place yarns, I’d add the Melange for those days it snows!

[@roos7631]

Whoooo such a great idea!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

So smart!

[@pandora2806]

My best friend gave birth to a beautiful boy this year. I'm having health issues so I can't go visit them for a while. This video gave me the perfect idea for a birthday gift for little Davi: a temperature blanket starting with the date of his birth. So I can show that, even with the distance, I was thinking on them.

[@sisterpamop]

I just finished my son's for his 9/29 birthday. It is beautiful, but became very hard to work on near the end. I like yours very much.

[@confidenshal-learnwithkay1511]

First of all, I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!!!!! I started crocheting a few years ago, but always wonder how to do a temperature blanket. I still don't understand how to choose the colours. Can you please go into how you choose your colours please? Thank you!

[@SavewithTess]

Last year I made my 1st only crochet project. It was a Pre-Natal temperature blanket for my daughter and her new baby (and a matching doll blanket). We live in a desert community so it’s pretty warm year round. I used only 3 colors and it turned out beautiful. Thanks for inspiring me

[@toolsoffantasy]

Oh, I just got inspired to make a 52 week one, with rectangular granny squares :D Love all of the different ways to make this that you brought up

[@KathleenReed]

Oh I love this idea

[@LilitheAmara]

I didn't click on this video when it popped up in my recommended because I didn't know what a temperature blanket was. I clicked on one of your yarn snob videos and saw you also did this video. I am glad I checked it out because this idea is so cool!

[@epicfishandturtles]

Lol I'm watching this video on new years eve, so not much time for me to plan... that being said, I already got so many ideas from your video, thank you so much for making it easier for people who are less organized, like me! (I think I'll do a wavy blanket based on the tide charts)

[@msolomon9659]

I’m thinking about doing a temp blanket for my first grandkid. It would be for the first year of life. Starting the day it’s born. Then….hopefully do one for each grandchild as they come.

[@sharakirkby2744]

Actually I want to make a temperature blanket with your yarn. I’ve never been ambitious to make that kind of blanket, however I love the look of the yarn and colours. I do hope they’ll get more colours. Don’t know why but I’m doing it.

[@chericreates6572]

I learned how to crochet last december and at the time, i had no idea what a temperature blanket was. in June, i got really into them, but I figured if I waited til next January, I wouldn't be interested anymore. so now i'm 1/4 of the way through a '23-'24 temp blanket, from July of '23 to June of '24

[@katinaskreations4825]

Thank you for this. I’m finally going to do one!

Thank you, Toni! 💖

[@lfhaneman]

I love all your videos Toni, and am very excited to begin this new project! I will be doing a literal temp blanket with traditional colors associated with daily temps each day of 2023. We are building a new house, have been planning it all year and hope to move in December. This year was also historic weather in Austin, since we lost two 100 year old oak trees in our yard during the freeze of January, and lived through record breaking length of 100+ days in July-September. What a year to record! My blanket will have lots of orange and red! Thanks again.

[@MzzMonicaM]

Thank you for sharing this info. ❤❤❤

[@benhenry69]

Thanks so much for a great, informative video! I am definitely intrigued!

[@gramcracker2023]

I’ve got two temperature blankets going right now and I’m waaaayy behind on both of them. I’m doing a historical blanket for 1978, the year I got married and 2023. I’m stalled because I made the 2023 blanket too small and I hate working more on it, but I was into April or May. My historical blanket I just can’t make up my mind what stitch to use. These are my first temperature blankets btw.

I did a temperature blanket this year and I loved it! I printed out a calendar for the year and for each day I added the temperature and corresponding yarn color for that day and checked it off when I knitted that row so it was super easy to keep track of since I didn’t have a set schedule

[@jeseekia]

Binging all of your temperature blanket videos. I love this and already recruited another friend to do one with me so it’s so funny how you mentioned that in this video and the 2024 Makealong! I’m making my project boards in Notion and getting organized to start because I literally cannot wait. Thank you! I will be checking in on my progress on IG.

[@Dwings135]

Thanks!

[@laurac86]

I love the idea of a temperature blanket but I’m still newish to crochet and that’s a big project lol I’m thinking about doing a smaller temperature tapestry so it can be a pretty manageable size project, but still get the striping effect from the blanket that I like so much! Thank you for the inspiration ☺️

[@jum4092]

I'm making a high/low temperature blanket about my year in Norway. I realized very quickly that the climate isn't ideal for a high/low blanket because the temperatures are so close together so I have many parts where it is the same color for high and low temperature. The highest difference I had so far was 5°C, the lowest was just straight up the same temperature throughout the whole day. Tldr: Make sure the kind of TB you choose fits your climate

[@carolynwalker7886]

I'm all caught up with my 2023 temperature blanket. I think the biggest mistake I made was making it too big. Next year, I think I'll just do the granny square where each of the seven day highs are represented by one granny square. That would be the easier route for next year's temperature blanket.

[@JA-rp6pm]

Thank you so much! This, and you, are so inspirational! I am new to crocheting and used your beginner video to learn stitches. Our small virtual crochet circle is going to plan to start this and will support each other weekly.

[@brooke_reiverrose2949]

Never heard of this. I must start one immediately.

[@user-ql7kz9mf8f]

16:27 I'm really glad to have this mantra of " my blanket my rules" in my head as I prep and get started! I've always wanted to do a temperature blanket but have never had the motivation to get started and such detailed support as you've given in this video. Thank you for all the inspiration and for the reminder that it's my blanket and I get to set the rules! I'm going with a theme based on the colors of the Pacific coast so blues and greens and browns! So excited to get started!

[@besswhite3080]

Hi Toni! Love your book and your channel, both are very clear, easy to follow and visually gorgeous. So... I just started going to school for art therapy and love your idea to make one to visually chronicle my mood over the next three years. Then I'll be able to look back and see how I was feeling. Thank you for the steady flow of encouragement and inspiration, we really appreciate you.

[@noelleparris9451]

Ha! This was a great how-to, Toni. My first temperature blanket is going well but now that the year is almost over, I'm ready for it to be done! Three squares to go (linen stitch squares)! Thanks for all your tips 👍🏾😊

I’m starting my third blanket and knew exactly who I could count on for inspiration!

[@mcm7444]

Thank you Tony. I absolutely loved this video. It’s giving me motivation but I haven’t moved forward yet for a temperature blanket.❤

[@himaeverafterr]

I love your temperature blanket videos! i haven't made one yet because temperatures don't really compel me. i'm starting my family medicine residency next year, and i just had the thought that it might be fun to make a blanket with the number of hours i work each day lol

[@ChynnaBlue1]

This video is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much. I've been intimidated because I live in Texas and don't want a giant red anything. I decided on a scarf because I'm still uncertain and have ADHD, so a blanket is hard. But a scarf would be ready to wear just as it (finally) gets cold here. And now I'm inspired to choose a palette with blues, aquas, pinks, corals, and oranges instead of reds.

[@rachelkarcher2565]

I like the ideas about adjusting the gauge to maintain interest in the project.

[@sarah.mae531]

I attempted a temp blanket back in 2021 when I was very new to crochet, and did not set myself up for success. I did not size it right so it was going to end up super long and skinny, and to top it off was single crochet. 🫣 Needless to say, I made it to about May lol. Ready to attempt again three years later and am hoping your linen square pattern will keep me motivated! Projects with granny square style construction helps me stay motivated and get a sense of accomplishment whenever I finish a square. Thank you for the pattern!!

This is so helpful! I made my first temperature blanket last year with random yarn and the one I’m working on this year is even prettier!

You’ve inspired me, Toni!! ❤️‍🔥 2024 is my year to do a temperature blankie! 🥳 I absolutely LOVE how your 2023 blanket came out so I’m going to do a similar pattern because it reminds me of the beautiful woven wool Missoni chevron patterns that I’m so gaga about 😊🩷💙🩷

I was not planning to make a temperture blanket, but this video has inspired me, and the fact that I need to use up more yarn in my stash!❤😊

Thanks so much for these tips! 🥰I'm so overwhelmed by the scope of the project but you really break it down into manageable pieces.
