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.
