Temperature Sampler Blocks is a temperature blanket made up of 12 knit blocks that each use a different stitch pattern. So not only do you get a blanket that records the temp for the year, you also get to try 12 different stitch patterns! The pdf has instructions for picking yarn, pattern details (gauge, size, yardage) and 2 charts to get you started planning your temperature blanket, as well as patterns for each of the 12 blocks.
