Temperature Blanket Stitch Pattern

With so many options of stitches for your blanket you will want to consider a few things. To keep your blanket from getting too long and still recording all 365 days, you will want to consider a shorter stitch. Here are some suggestions of great stitches for your temperature blanket.

• single crochet
• linen stitch
• granite stitch/moss stitch
• granny stitch
• granny spike stitch

If you prefer to work something other than straight lines you could use one of the following techniques.

• corner to corner
• mini squares (one square for each day)
• monthly ‘scarf’ joined together at end
• chevron

Project Storage

For a project of this size you are going to need a large storage container. I suggest getting a large bag (I love the $1 ones in the checkout line at TJ Maxx) or a plastic storage bin.

Keeping all of your yarn for this project and your hook will be crucial. If you are doing a pattern that requires multiple pieces having a storage bin will be a big help along the way.
