Temperature Blanket Templates!

2016 is here!!! So many goals, so many ideas, so many projects I want to complete. Hope I can show you some of them here.

Here is my idea for a temperature blanket. Okay, complete on honesty it is not really my idea. I am just jumping into the band wagon. I first saw the idea on Facebook, the first place I saw the idea came from Repeat Crafter Me Facebook. If you don't already follow Sarah you should check out her work. Here is her actual website RepeatCrafterMe. I wasn't a huge template that was used in post Bernat Colors.

So, I decided to change it up, many times!


Stage One:
This is a few of the many colors that I have of Caron Simply Soft, plus more. I decided I wanted more colors to make it as colorful as possible. At this point I was going to do 10 colors red(hot) to purple(cold.)

Stage Two:
 
This is what is came up with, but I didn't like it. So, back to the drawing board I went. 

Stage Three:

 
Here are a few more changes, the second one and the third so close yet I feel like there is an huge difference. I can't decide what to do! 

Stage Four:
This is what I finally came up with, 15 colors! I wanted to have a wider range of colors to show off how hot and cold the Midwest seasons can truly be. I wish knee how to set up a better diagram then this. Below is is the the temperature gauge and the names of colors being used.
 Starts hottest to coldest:
97+ = Burgundy
91-96 = Soft Red
84-90 = Pumpkin
77-83 = Orange
70-76 = Lemonade
63-69 = Sunshine
56-62 = Dark Sage
49-55 = Neon Green
42-48 = Robin's Egg
33-41 = Berry Blue
26-32 = Iris
18-25 = Perfect Plum
10-17 = Dark Country Blue
2-9 = Heather Grey
1-below = Off White

Stage Five:
Deciding what pattern to use!
???? 
Drawing a blank! 
That will be tomorrow's problem. 

Hope this is helpful for a few people. 

Until Next Time!

Hexagon Motif Pattern

Hexagon Motif Pattern: I know there are so many different patterns and tutorials floating around already for a basic hexagon pattern but this is mine. Like any other crochet pattern out there, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do to it! Here is my personal preference on it: Round 1: Start by making a magic circle, (you don't have to start your motif like this, but this is my personal preference when starting a "in the round" project) chain 1 to secure magic circle ends, single crochet, chain  4(counts as a double crochet and a chain 2 gap), *double crochet twice, chain 2* repeat from * to * 4 more times, double once more.  (You will have 6 clusters of two double crochets and chain gaps)  To end the round, single crochet into top of first double crochet (Second chain of first 4 chains) You can end rounds anyway you want, again this is just my personal preference! Round 2: Chain 2 [always counts as Doubl...
