Baby Temperature Blanket

These blankets are about 75 cm long and 50 cm wide, with 6 squares horizontally and 9 squares vertically. Each granny square corresponds to a week of the birth year (hence 52 squares), and the temperatures are chosen following daily and monthly data:

• core, average temperature of the month

• second row, minimum temperature of the day of the week

• third row, maximum temperature of the day of the week

• external row gets a neutral colour for assembly.

The remaining two squares (6 x 9 = 54, and not 52!!) represent characters that my children love. The pattern uses a round in a square for a size equivalent to a 4x4 granny square.

Finally, the border consists in two rows, starting with single crochet (US term) to homogenise the edges, then double crochet to complete the decoration.
