This blanket is worked 4 rows per day. The colour of every
day should be changed according to the temperature of the
day. Each colour above has been assigned to a temperature
range; this version should work well for anywhere within the
UK using degrees Celsius you can achieve a maximum of 5
days with one ball of yarn.

It has been split so that you should end up with a similar
number of rows in each colour. If you live in a different
climate, you will need to adjust the range. E.g, if you live
somewhere hotter, you may need to have larger ranges for
each colour at lower temperatures, freeing up more colours
to be used for each degree at higher temperatures. The
reverse applies if you live somewhere cooler. You could
take a look at historic temperature data online for your area
for previous years to see what the usual highs and lows are,
and split your colours up accordingly; aim to have no more
than 6 in any one colour.

Helpful websites include Accuweather, The Met Office and
Visual Crossing. Temperature data for your area can be
found easily online using websites such as those listed
above, or better yet, record it with your own thermometer
at home; the sample blanket was made using the recorded
max temperatures for each day in Pontefract, United
Kingdom during the month of June, 2022.
