INTRODUCTION
This is a year-long knitting project documenting the highest temperature for your region in the form of a shawl.

You will be recording the top temperature each day in your local region to log the city’s particular weather patterns and track the possible effects of climate change on seasonal temperatures.

The pattern is a Shawl in an asymmetric triangular design using fingering weight / 4 ply yarn.
You will be knitting 2 rows of pattern in the temperature yarn colour for that day.

A lovely mindful slow knitting project to keep you company all year.

There are nine different stitch patterns in the shawl, with some of them repeated for some of the months.

You have the option of adding crystal beads to your Shawl to highlight special events in the year (birthdays/weddings etc), making it both a temperature and memory project.

Because this is a temperature wrap, it is hard to predict how much of each colour you may need, it is totally dependant on the weather fluctuations for your region.

Total yarn for project: 330g – 1,320 m/ 1444 yds.

The sample shawl has been knitted with yarn from Valkyrie Fibers based in the US.
