Welcome back to the 2023 Crochet with Me Temperature Afghan CAL Season 1 Day 7!!! So far I am so inspired to crochet a row every day and see how this turns out after the first season! You can follow along and make each season separately or the full year! It will be so much fun to see either way!
We are now on Row 7/Day 7, and seeing a bit of fun color changes on our project! It is never to late to join in on the CAL, I hope you do! Below is all the information you need to participate, so make sure to read through!
As a reminder, this temperature afghan is a 7 row repeat project, but rows 1 and 2 are not part of the repeat. Over the first 9 rows, there will be a post for each day to get you through the first repeat section. After the first 9 days you will continue to do the 7 row repeat throughout. I will post my weekly progress photos and fun posts each week.

Q & A
- Do I need to use the Hobby Lobby I Love Yarn? – No, you can use any brand and either use colors that are the same tone or make up your own color scheme
- What if my temperatures are lower or higher than in the range posted? – You can adjust your range by moving the color scale up or down. If you want to use a smaller range, you can use smaller increments too and use less yarn colors. I have adjusted my personal scale to fit my local area and the sample of mine is below.
- How does a 4 Season project work? – A season is a 3 month period, you can stop at the end or each season or continue and make 2 seasons together or continue and make the full year. You can also make each season and join them together later.
- How do you know what temp to use each day? -You can use a weather app such as Weather.com to track your local temps. You can choose a time of day to look, the high or low or the average. Weather.com also has a monthly calendar so you can see the temp history incase you miss a day. Also, you can choose to just use the temps in your hometown or you can use them for where you are each day at the time you choose.
- Joining new colors? -You will finish off each row leaving your tail. Without turning for the next row you will move to the first stitch on the righthand side and join your yarn. Another words, you will always work/start your new row on the right side.
- How large will this be? – This temperature afghan project is worked length wise, so it will be approximately 65″ long not including fringe. The width for each season will be approximately 30-36″ wide depending on your tension. If you do a full year the width will be extra large somewhere around 125″, the original 65″ is the same and then you may use the lengthwise direction differently than if you stop at the seasonal lapghan style.
- How do I join? – EASY, you can just come back here anytime and scroll through the feed, go to the Crochet with Me tab at the top of the page and get all the posts, Use the “Stay Connected” form on the right sidebar to get all posts by email or join the Beatrice Ryan Facebook CAL Group and posts are in the pinned area there.
- What if I am behind? – You can get all of your daily historical temperatures on Weather.com and catch up!
- Why are my stitch counts getting off? – Make sure when doing the fl dc that you don’t do your next bl sc in the stitch behind the fl dc. This will cause extra stitches.
- Prizes? – Head to the Material List Post for all the info on the prizes
Here is the lovely Magnetic Fridge Calendar I am using to keep my records… Easy to order on Amazon!!
Above is my calendar so far… I love this! Since I will be retiring from my full time job in the next couple of months… I needed a calendar at home to keep my appointments straight… This is perfect!
Above is a broad range of colors and temperature guide you can use! Of course, you can move your temperature range around to suit your area or even use less colors.
**Since my home town temperatures are within a range from lows of 10 degrees to highs of upper 90’s, I am going to use the daily average for myself. In order to use all of the yarn colors I purchased(25 colors), I have listed how I varied my temp chart increments. You can change yours up too if you like to get more or less colors. The above picture is just a suggestion of yarn colors and temperatures.
