Until I saw this I hadn’t heard of this before. My daughter in law does beautiful crocheting so I asked her if she had heard of this. She had of course! I think the colors going back to how it started is going to look quite lovely! Well done.
For anyone wondering the Lion Brand Hearland yarn colors the are (hottest to coldest): Badlands, Redwood, Yosemite, Gateway Arch, Bryce Canyon, Haleakala, Petrified Forest, Carlsbad Caverns, Voyageurs, and North Cascades.
I like your yarn choices. I've seen a lot of these turn out with really bright rainbowy colors, and that's fine if that's what you're going for, but I really like the more earthy look.
I’m starting a Mood Blanket for 2024 so I’m expecting to see more variation of colors than a temperature blanket. Here in SC it’s HOT 9 months out of the year so 3/4 of the blanket would be a solid color. Thanks for all the all the tips; it’s going to be very helpful with my Mood Blanket 🧶
I’ve been following your temperature blanket journey from the beginning and you’ve inspired me to,start my own. I have everything ready to go and can’t wait for 2024 to get started!
Thank you for showing us this! I started making one for my best friend. I’m doing the high temps for the year she was born in Ohio. Much more interesting than the even temps of California where we are now. And for her date of birth I’m running a shiny iridescent gold sewing thread along with the yarn of that day. Only her birthday is Feb 8th so I have to do about 4 rows a day. I’m jamming!
Hey Bre :) the “magic knot” is the perfect technique to join two yarns seemlesly together. I use that all the time and it’s super easy. And you won’t have my yarn hanging out your blanket ;)
Its so crazy you posted this today. I got out my crochet things last night while watching Outlander and today I plan on going to get more yarn for projects to do into next year.
I always loved this idea. What I really want to do is make a temperature blanket for the year/place I was born. I can also imagine how special a gift of a temperature blanket for someone's birth year/birth place would be. Thinking of making my family members them for their birth year/place as gifts, then comparing the different patterns created.❤
Slipping your yarn skein as is in tight leggings with the yarn coming out of the top hole, it helps to keep the yarn stable and easy to pull from. Just wanted to share. You can also surface stitch your initials on the blanket when done. Tutorials on surface stitch crochet YT. :) So clever, your monthly tracker on the computer and your monthly color separator yarn color. Happy I found your channel today. :D Stay Fab. ~*Shana from California
Instead of a temperature blanket maybe next year do a temperature scarf!!! When you finish the year in January you will have a lovely scarf to wear for the remaining of winter and I am sure it will be a great conversation starter!!! You can even switch off and make a blanket one year and a scarf the next. You can even look up the temps for the year in different areas of the country for gifts for friends/family. I think it would be pretty cool to gift a friend or family member a baby blanket on the babies first birthday that shows all the high temps on each day of the year their first year of life!!!
what i find interesting for the temperature blanket is that not every city/county/state/country will be the same temperature, so like what's been like the 60s in my state could be 50s or 80s in another state depending on the season
That's so awesome looking! I'm really enjoying having a machine washable throw rug and i could totally see replacing it with one of these! My washable rug is 100% cotton and a stupid mouse chewed a hole in it😢. I do love that as a blanket as well but my floor gets painfully cold so i could see this being so diverse in my house! 😍
this is so amazing and inspiring! 💫🫶🏻 I’ve crocheted for years but neverrrr made a huge blanket like this. we are moving abroad to Australia for 18 months starting this April and I think it would be really special to memorialize our time there with a temperature blanket! thank you for inspiring me 🥰🧺
This is so cool! Maybe downsize the blanket if you think it's becoming too much. Make it a throw for the couch or a really long scarf! I don't crochet but I might get my sister to do this 😅
I adoreeeee this project, I've been following on Insta since you started and I am planning out my temperature ranges and yarn colours as I watch this. I'm so excited for this project for 2024! Thanks for creating and sharing with us!
I’m just learning how to not get behind so I have just decided to start October month for 2024 and then I’ll start my new 2025 temperature blanket I am crocheting my own chervon blanket pattern I need advice for if I get behind again. Happy Monday and happy crocheting. Have a question how many skeins of yarn do I buy? Thank you for your help in advance.
I think you should do another one next year. Maybe a smaller one or one that you can make a clothing piece. Maybe a animal blanket. I think this would make an amazing gift. Be a slow gift lol 1 year long but it's so beautiful. It's making me highly think about doing this next year. My husbands favorite color is red so ik in my area red would be the dominant color.
I started crocheting about a month ago, mostly making hats and scarves and hoods for winter, but I haven’t tackled a blanket yet and I’m hoping to do one of these next year! The color gradient is so cool looking!
Yours was the first temperature blanket I had seen and I copied it exactly. Unfortunately, we had no cold weather here so mine is lots of orange and brown. But I love it anyway. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m on the month that my precious fur baby passed and I want to memorialize the day on my blanket. Her birthday is the month after. Should I do a special yarn entwined with the corresponding temperature color, make a different stitch (I’m doing a moss stitch) or use her favorite color (pink) for both dates. Or just use a black yarn. I’m feeling some sadness and anxiety about the upcoming row; I know it sounds dramatic but I miss her. Thank you ❤
This is so neat! Absolutely gorgeous! I am so excited and inspired to try this in January! I’m planning now so I can jump on board 1/1/2024!!!! 🎉 thanks for the idea!!!❤
It's been a while since I've crocheted but this is so much fun! Idk if want to tackle a blanket as it's been so long since but I was thinking of maybe doing a temperature scarf for next year?! 🤔
Do you have a list of the colors you used and amounts that you bought? I know each area will vary, but I’d just like an idea. I’m going to make one of these this year! I was looking for something to do and this is a great idea. Thank you for the inspiration!
Wow! I just stumbled across your channel. Never heard of this before, but I’m now inspired to make one! How do you keep the blanket rows the same size, it looks very rectangular with no distortion. Great job and very pretty!
Do you do two rows for the ivory divider color? I started a single crochet blanket like yours and I finished my first two months. I seems like one side of the ivory is thicker than the other side so one side is harder to see the ivory.
I’m in Kansas too, way up in the Norton County area. Are you in the eastern side? I was thinking it would be interesting to make one and compare the resulting pattern. I know our weather has changed a lot in the last 10 years! 🙂 I love the colors you used and the finished blanket, but since my favorite color is blue, I thought It’d be cool to do the Lows instead of the Highs.
Hey i realy like you channel ❤ I am wondering how many stitches do you yours? ❤ I love the size and will start one soon for the first year of my daughters live 😊
Hey I just found your TH-cam channel and it is very helpful and informative about temperature blanket for me I ran out of yarn colors for my 2024 temperature blanket so what do you think I should do besides that don’t have any color for my temperature blanket? I’m new subscriber and I like your videos. Need some ideas on how to not have to 19 or even 21 inches long? Thank you for your help if you see this.
Could you respond by giving us all the details that you included in this video which Heartland Lion Brand colors - I think you said 230 sts wide - and you are founding single crochet
Hi is there anyway you could help me😅… I’m doing this but my ends are not even some is long and some are short do you know anything about why it would be doing that?
I just learned how to crochet and I love this idea. However I dont think I have the self discipline to keep up, and I probably wouldn't make it 230 stitches wide 😂😭
Calculate that a row every day of the year is 365 rows; With a size H crochet hook, 4 crochet chain rows equal prox 1 inch; 365 divided by 4 equals prox 92 inches; 92 divided by 12 inches equals prox 7.5 ft . This is how long your blanket will be, which is a nice length for a blanket. (this is not an afghan). Your width should be at least 4.5 feet (54 inches); 4 single crochet stitches equals 1 inch; 54 inches x 4 equals prox 216 chain stitches to start your blanket. Yes, it is a big project!
Started my temperature blanket today. I'm glad you shared your experience and that you answered so many questions that I had in my mind. Also, hello, fellow Ellis!

we need a year mood blanket and see how it correlates to temperature
That’s such a great idea!

Thats such a cool idea😊 i wish i‘m your best friend😢❤ but i‘m also planning to do one for 2024 (for myself😂)
Oh wow what a sweet idea 💖 I hope it turns out well! Your friend is very lucky to have you☺️
Oh my goodness what a fantastic idea and gift!
Love love LOVE the shot with you on the blanket. Really enjoy the content, but also the editing in your videos
I just finished my 2023 temperature blanket Jan 2024.😊
I would love if more people could post a picture of their temp blankets! And where they live, so others could see their climate 🤩
This blanket is beautiful Bre,I never heard of a temperature blanket.You should be very proud of yourself to achieve this love the colours.🥰🥰
Hey Bre :) the “magic knot” is the perfect technique to join two yarns seemlesly together. I use that all the time and it’s super easy. And you won’t have my yarn hanging out your blanket ;)
What TH-cam video can I watch on this?
@@kimberlydickinson2333 Bella Coco has a video. But if you search for the „magic knot“ on TH-cam you’ll find a lot of different ones. ;)
@@kimberlydickinson2333 th-cam.com/video/15hqoR0KJHA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=COr5IDaLgfBxZb4h
On YT I saw this great tutorial called "Make This Knot the RIGHT Way" that was 3:48 long. Hope it helps. @@kimberlydickinson2333
Russian join would work well too
I made a temp blanket big enough for my king bed. I love it!
I really like this simple striped version of a temperate blanket better than the granny squares type. It looks great! ❤

That a great idea! Smaller than a blanket, easier to bite off and chew for a small project.. Haha!!

Love this! I’ve heard of temperature quilts, but not crocheted blanket. Thank you!
This blanket is so cool I love it! 😊
I adoreeeee this project, I've been following on Insta since you started and I am planning out my temperature ranges and yarn colours as I watch this. I'm so excited for this project for 2024!
Thanks for creating and sharing with us!
Just found your channel because of a short about this blanket! This is such a great idea! I’ll definitely be doing this this coming year!
Me too. 🙂

I love the neutral colors they are my favorite! It’s so beautiful! ❤❤❤

When she purchased the individual colors, (per the size she made, 7 ½' x 5 ½'), I wonder how much yarn she needed for each color?
Love the colors you used. Beautiful blanket.
Maybe you can make temperature scarves instead, if you feel that blankets are too time consuming? I think your blanket is beautiful ❤
it's beautiful!
I’m on the month that my precious fur baby passed and I want to memorialize the day on my blanket. Her birthday is the month after.

Thanks Bre!
Hi, i would like to know how many skins of yarn you have used to make the blanket. Just want to know what to expect if i try it. :)
This is so neat! Absolutely gorgeous! I am so excited and inspired to try this in January! I’m planning now so I can jump on board 1/1/2024!!!! 🎉 thanks for the idea!!!❤
if you don’t want to make one next year you could make another one in like 5-10 years to compare the temperature over a long time. loved the video!
I can’t wait to begin!❤
I think this was a great tutorial. The blanket is beautiful so far.
So happy about the update! I love it! So doing this next year! I agree about doing it every year but maybe smaller.
This is so cool and creative !! I need to get back into crocheting!! Love this
How many skeins of yarns did you end up using? Trying to start my 2024 temperature blanket here!
It's been a while since I've crocheted but this is so much fun! Idk if want to tackle a blanket as it's been so long since but I was thinking of maybe doing a temperature scarf for next year?! 🤔
yup, i'm knitting one of these next year :)
If you are going to make one next year you could also go by the average temp or low temp or even type of weather like rainy or sunny etc
Your blanket has inspired me to try my own in 2024. I love your color shades. Would you share where I could purchase this series? Thank you 😊
Joann and Michael's carries it
This is so beautiful! You should totally be sponsored by the yarn brand ;)
Love the color scheme you chose and the earthy tones.
What location are you doing? For a second one, consider doing, say, 50 years ago in the same location to demonstrate global heating. It looks super!
Do you have a list of the colors you used and amounts that you bought? I know each area will vary, but I’d just like an idea. I’m going to make one of these this year! I was looking for something to do and this is a great idea. Thank you for the inspiration!
im going to make a temperature blanket with these colors too for this next year. It looks very cool I am excited
I love that color theme.
How many skeins of each color did you purchase or how did you decide on those amounts? I’m only thinking about this because of color lots. Thank you.
I have the same question. I suppose you could look up historic temps in your area for the previous year and then estimate.
I think I will be making a blanket- rainy day and no rain- as in the UK it is raining almost every day lol
It’s looking so good! ❤
You could make a temperature scarf or baby blanket
Do you use stitch markers? I need to use them because sometimes the ends are a little off. Will you be putting on a border?
Wow! I just stumbled across your channel. Never heard of this before, but I’m now inspired to make one! How do you keep the blanket rows the same size, it looks very rectangular with no distortion. Great job and very pretty!
Do you do two rows for the ivory divider color? I started a single crochet blanket like yours and I finished my first two months. I seems like one side of the ivory is thicker than the other side so one side is harder to see the ivory.

I know our weather has changed a lot in the last 10 years! 🙂 I love the colors you used and the finished blanket, but since my favorite color is blue, I thought It’d be cool to do the Lows instead of the Highs.
Hey i realy like you channel ❤
I am wondering how many stitches do you yours? ❤
I love the size and will start one soon for the first year of my daughters live 😊
Wow really nice
I am about to start but getting hung up on how many chains to use to get a "usable" blanket. Your size looks reasonable. thanks
Hi, making my first temp blanket, my first blanket period..lol
What yarn do you use? I liked the speckled one. Ty!
Bre....flying bird,lovely heart.my red rose,lifelong chooses.🤴🌹🕊
You could always do another blanket next year but try a new stitch. Just an idea 🙂
Forgot to add that Acadia is the white color marking start of a new month.
This is so fun ❤️

Hello Bre! lovely blanket! just wondering, what is the weight of it? and how man gram yarn did you use in total?
So pretty
Wouldn’t this be a great idea for a baby’s first birthday.
Where did you get this idea ? The color and temptures ?
How many skeins of each did you start with?
Yk I love and hate the fact that I live in Kansas and it is just now cooling down in November 😂
Could you respond by giving us all the details that you included in this video which Heartland Lion Brand colors - I think you said 230 sts wide - and you are founding single crochet
Just paused to confirm you didn't start with the 'month divider' colour. You started with the colour of the temperature on Jan 1?
Hi is there anyway you could help me😅… I’m doing this but my ends are not even some is long and some are short do you know anything about why it would be doing that?
Okay…now I am in…can you teach us to crochet?
I love it so much! Would it be a ridiculous first ever project! Haha!
Can you give the pattern & supplies needed please? Is it pure wool?
Maybe a temperature scarf?
Can you post the colors that you used? Thank you!
What are the colors you used.
How much yarn have you used up till now??
People watching this in January 2024 knowing that there’s a blizzard in Kansas cause they live there!
👇
What number of hook are you using?
I just learned how to crochet and I love this idea. However I dont think I have the self discipline to keep up, and I probably wouldn't make it 230 stitches wide 😂😭

Thanks for the nice breakdown for the smaller blanket. It is a big project. It’s good to know that going into it.😊
I'm your 1k likes..can't wait for 31 December ❤
Someone else has made this first. You should tag them in it.
Hundreds and hundreds of fibre crafters have been making these for ages 😊
Started my temperature blanket today. I'm glad you shared your experience and that you answered so many questions that I had in my mind. Also, hello, fellow Ellis!
I love this and it’s inspiring me to get back into crocheting 🧶… but I just have to say your cats 🐈 made me laugh and they are too cute!
Love it!! How many skeins of each color did you get? 🧶
