My partner and I finally have all of our planning ironed out and did the math so we could get all of the yarn we needed while most of it was over 50% off, so stoked to get started on this journey!

    I’m not sure what OP means, but I have heard of temperature blankets where someone knits or crochets a blanket with 365 rows. The color of each row represents the average temperature that day (or the high).

    But it could refer to a more vague temperature color gradient blanket as well.

      Doing 1 row of single crochet based on the daily high temperature every day in 2024. Sorry i assumed it was ubiquitous when i posted it here. My bad.

        Is there a reason you chose the high? Median or Mean might lead to a subtler gradient in the blanket. You could have a difference of 5-10 degrees (Celsius) each day bouncing back and forth sometimes depending on rain and clouds. Is it standard for temperature blankets to use the high?

          The highs are just easier to keep up with and i dont feel like finding the median everyday. My partner put all of the temps with the temp gauge we are using into excel and it still has a pretty nice gradient using the highs from 2023 when we zoom out and look at the whole sheet.

            Not sure where you live or how locally you want the data, but often government has historical daily records available online.

            For an example from Canada where I am They provide daily records as well as hourly records which give a high, low, and average as well as other data which can be downloaded into csv format for excel.

            At least could be used as a backup if your own gauge malfunctions or gets forgotten / left for holidays or something.
