Maybe make a ridiculously wide border around it.

Keeps you warm when it is least needed!

I would wear it as a massive scarf

What is a temperature blanket?

[–] TheFlopster@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You take the high temperature (or average or low; whatever you're going for), for every day of one year for a specific area/city, and then each row/stripe is one day.

Before you start you assign each temperature range a color. The hotter days tend to be in the reds, oranges, and yellows, the colder days in the blues and purples.

There's a lot of variation. You can make the range 10 degrees for a lot of the same color, or change every 3 degrees for a lot of different color changes. You can do stripes or squares. You can do the average temp of the city you were born in during your birth year (with a unique color for your actual birthday). Or the same idea for a kid's or friend's birthday year. You can do the current year, in the city you're in, for a snapshot in time. (This also means it can't be finished until the year is over, lol.)

I've seen (and think I prefer to stripes) ones that are made in granny squares with the high, low, and average for the week.

Acurate description of any one my project that are not very wide and not long enough.

Interesting dimensions. Very long for its width? Is it a runner for a table/couch back

Hey, I recognise those stairs.

So many ends to hide!
