1942 Temperature Range Blanket - Work In Progress - ASMR - Yarn Y'all episode 35

Join me as I crochet a temperature blanket, reflecting the daily high temperatures in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1942-1943 - the first year of my dad's life.

I wanted this blanket to be used as a lap blanket instead of a larger, bed-sized blanket so I modified the pattern to change color for every temp range change, rather than one row per day/date. Meaning, if there’s several days in a row, in one temp range (i.e. 70, 72, 76, 72) then I would include one row in the KHAKI color to represent that ‘range.’
