Temperature Blanket Pattern and Week 1 Completed!

February 3, 2016 By: Deena Pricecomment

I tried out quite a few patterns before I settled on the pattern that I liked the most for my temperature blanket…it needed to be a pattern that I would still like doing a year from now! Also, I wanted to pick a pattern that would be easy to add my decorative blocks too.

I chose the following pattern from spincushions.com – Squaring The Circle

Each block is a colored circle with a white edging that squares the block.  The color of the inner circle represents the HIGH temperature for each day of 2016!  I used Caron Simply Soft Yarn and a size H hook.  Each block is 4 1/4 by 4 1/4 inches.

I chose a snowflake pattern to be the block that represented January.  I found the pattern online and posted as a PDF

Snowflake for January

I used a size 2 sparkly silver yarn with a size F hook to acheive the size of snowflake that I wanted.  The block for the month will be placed at the begining of the month before any temperature blocks are placed.  I made the square block with all white yarn and made the snowflake seperately.  I am using Coats brand transparent thread to sew all of the holiday designs on to the blocks.

For the New Years Day holiday, I chose to represent that block with the #1.  I found a great video tutorial on youtube  – Tutorial for #1

#1

With my January (snowflake) block done and my New Years Day (#1) block done, I then crocheted the first 7 blocks with their coordinating temperatures!

I am LOVING how it is starting out! As you can see in this picture the #1 is differnt.  This was the first #1 that I did, and I didn’t like how it looked, so I took it off and crocheted the pink #1!

About Me

I am a stay-at-home-mom of 12 wonderful kids! My two oldest sons live on their own. And my 10 youngest (ages, 3, 4, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 17 & 18) live at home! We have been fortunate enough to be foster parents for the last 5 years. We have adopted 7 kiddos out of foster care and currently have one foster daughter - life is crazy and busy, but we LOVE it! I have been crafting for about 20 years. I started with stamping and crocheting and my hobby has grown from there! I always say, "I haven't met a craft I didn't like!" At this time, I spend the majority of my craft time crocheting because I can crochet in the family room while the kids play! Although I am an extremely busy mom, I spend my evenings creating! I love to make gifts for my family and friends. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you like or what you don't like or what you would like to see more of!
