Temperature Blanket Pattern

After much deliberation and a lot of searching for ideas on google, Pinterest, and many different Facebook groups, I finally made a pattern decision!!! I can't even begin to tell you know exciting this makes me. I had no idea how many different ways you can go about making temperature blankets. Between choosing colors template and picking out the pattern, and it doesn't just stop at blankets possibilities are endless. 

Any way let's get back to my pattern that I am doing:

Granny Hexagon Motif

Okay, so this is not the best photo I know that. Darker yarn is always difficult for me to capture, and turn out to look decent. I probably should have made a different motif for this, but since I am already in the middle of this post I am just going to go with it.


This is a much better photo then the first, but I just wanted to show that I will doing 3 round when the motif is finished. The first round will be the low of the day, second round will be the high of the day, and the final round will is just a border to help hold everything together . I will be using a join as you go method.

This is how I do the granny hexagon. I know there are many ways to do this, this is more for my notes.

After making a magic ring;

Round 1: ch1, 2 DC, ch 3, (3 DC, ch 3) 5 times, 1 DC, join in the first DC. (6 DC clusters)

Round 2: ch1, 2 DC, ch 3, 3 DC, ch 1, (3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC, ch 1) 5 times, 1 DC join in first DC (12 DC clusters and 6 ch 3 corners)

Round 3: ch1, 2 DC, ch 3, 3 DC, ch 1, 3 DC, ch 1, (3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC, ch 1, 3 DC, ch 1) 5 times, 1 DC, join in first DC (6 corner clusters, 6 side clusters)

Was I able to explain this right to where you can understand it? If you can't I am sorry for that, but again this is more for my notes. This way I make sure every motif is done the same. Still, I hope someone can use this!

Until next time!

2022 Temperature Blanket - Color Chart

  It's almost the beginning of a new year! So, what does that mean? It means (in the crafting world) its time to start a new temperature blanket (or attempt to make).  What's a temperature blanket you ask? Well its where you have a color chart scale for the weather of the day. I have made up a new color chart graph for the year 2022, then I will use the color for what the temperature is around noon each day.  I am using Caron Simply Soft Yarn:  Grey: -3° and below Off White: -2 to 1° White: 2-5° Blackberry: 6-9° Orchid: 10-12° Grape: 13-15° Iris: 16-19° Plum Perfect: 20-22° Soft Blue: 23-25° Robin's Egg: 26-29° Blue Mint: 30-32° Royal: 33-35° Dark Country Blue: 36-38° Chartreuse: 39-42° Pistachio: 43-45° Green: 46-48° Kelly: 49-52° Dark Sage: 53-55° Baby Sunshine: 56-58° Autumn Maze: 59-61° Gold: 62-65° Neon Orange: 66-68° Persimmon: 69-72° Orange: 73-75° Pumpkin: 76-79° Strawberry: 80-83° Watermelon: 84-87° Neon Pink: 88-91° Fucshia: 92-95° Red: 96-98° Autumn Red: 9...

My First Blog!!!

So this is me entering the blogging world. I am so far behind on the internet trends! My hope is to use the social world to get my craftyness out there. I learned crochet a very long time ago from my Great Grandmother Halvorson when I was little. I played around with it throughout high school but never really got into crocheting until she passed away in April of 2013. I only wish that she should see what I do now, this is all thanks to her. I also knit but not as much as I would like to, I am still new to that world as well (since late 2012.) This week in the spirit of fall/halloween season I made up a couple of Pumpkin Hats for toddlers. So cute...   My next was going to be making Turkey Hats but I have MAJOR ADD when it coming to my crafting ideas so I started graphing out pattern charts for some of the SuperHero geeks in my family. So far I have made Green Lantern, Batman i had Superman done but I decided I didnt like it so back to the drawing board I go. ...
