2022 Temperature Blanket

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: 99-101°

Burgundy: 102°+

I wanted a wide variety of colors so it would show off the weird weather that we experience here in the Midwest. It probably looks confusing and some people might think I am crazy for attempting this project and using so many colors but hey why live a boring life!

Hope you enjoyed... 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

This is not my pattern (the photo above is not mine either) but I will be sharing my finished work with you. The actual pattern was made by Jessica from Psychedelic Doilies. You can get the pattern from either Ravelry or Etsy, I am not sure which one you would perfer so I will leave you a direct link to both sites.
