Temperature Blankets: Crochet Patterns, Color Charts and Tracking Sheets

Temperature Blankets
- Some blankets use the same stitch pattern for each row of the afghan, while others use multiple stitch patterns. I’ve included patterns for each option below.
Finding the Temperature Range for Your City
Choosing The Stitch Pattern for the Blanket
- When choosing the pattern you want to crochet remember if you crochet 365 days worth of temperatures, that means your blanket is going to be 365 rows long.
- Depending on the yarn weight and the crochet hook you use that finished blanket could be gigantic!
- One way to make the blanket more manageable is to do 1 color per week for 52 weeks.
- Or decide to do 1 color every set number of days. If you choose to do 1 temperature reading every 3 days, this will give you about 122 rows.
- If you are making a full blanket and changing colors for every row, you may want to leave extra yarn on each end to allow you to leave the side edges as a fringe. Otherwise you will need to be weaving in 730 yarn ends before you add your edging.
- Apache Tears
- Linen Stitch (Moss Stitch)
- Temperature Blanket Stitch Pattern
- You could even work straight single crochet stitches for the blanket
- Waistcoat stitch would do nicely since it is worked on only one side of the fabric
Gauge (everyone’s favorite topic)
- If you can get the stitch you are using to give you 4 rows per inch, then you will have a 91 inch blanket length.
- If the stitch gives you 5 rows per inch you will have a blanket about 73 inches long (before your edging).
- TIP: You may want to try making your blanket using DK Weight Yarn to help you decrease it’s finished size.

Hi Tam 🙂 because I made a typo! I’ve fixed it now in the post. You are the very first person who noticed my error. It should have been 52 weeks. Thank you for letting me know, Rhondda
Hi. Curious why you chose 56 weeks or 380 days for a one year afghan?? A year has 52 weeks and 365 days (366 in leap year). Why’d you make it 4 weeks (or 15 days) longer??
Great ideas! Another site you can use to get weather data and plan your gauge is temperature-blanket.com.
I’m planning on making two temperature blankets, one for January thru June and one for July through December. I’ll do the same colors and stitch and I think they will look nice together.
I have started mine. I have chosen a hexagon design. Instead of doing an average temperature – which to me does not really give an accurate temperature of your area. I am doing both a high and low temperature of each day. Each of my hexagons are approximately 5″ across. I have introduced this idea to my crochet group that I am a member in Facebook. They love the idea. This is a leap year – so it works out with the hexagon motif. All the odd rows with be 22 hexagons, and all the even rows will be 21 hexagons. It will end up with 17 rows of 366 hexagons. I googled a hexagon graph and it worked out very well.
I have not crocheted this yet. But it got my attention, it is totally different.
You also have a lot of information for crocheting this. Think it will be fun!!
Hi Rene, I purchased mine at Michael’s craft store it was in the ribbon aisle there and came in a couple different colors. I have also ordered online from amazon when it went on sale last winter. Hope this helps! Rhondda
