My 2017 Temperature Blanket

Who would have thought this temperature blanket would be such a fun project?  I can’t believe I managed to keep up with my colors and jot down the temperatures of whatever city I was in at 3pm each day.  I must confess that there were times I did let a week go by without crocheting, but I would sit and do 7 days together and catch myself up. I convinced my mother and aunt to make temperature blankets with me too.  I’m interested to see how ours varied through the year.

What a great reminder of my travels this is going to be!  I began this year in a warm climate, Chile and Panama, and mid year I found myself in Sweden….   Usually a warm month at home, I found myself in snowy weather there!  We also had trips to Philly and North Carolina, and various other mini trips.

I’m thrilled to share this FREE pattern with you!  Don’t forget to share your version and tag me on Facebook MB Stitches and on Instagram MB_Stitches!!
