I'm keen to crochet a temperature blanket. Most of the sites/facebook pages I've seen are US based. I'm in UK and looking for suggestions of:
- which yarn is best to use that I can get in the UK?
- which stitch would you recommend, was thinking double to help stop it getting too long.
- how much yarn do I need? Thinking of doing one large enough to be either sofa throw/double bed throw. Obviously would be 365 or 366 rows long, but roughly how many stitches wide would it need. I know I can work it out by doing swatches/using info on the wool labels but would like to hear from experience how much wool roughly people needed.
- how did you split the colours e.g 3 degree range. I'm in southern England, it's gone as cold as -3 and as warm as 35.
- is there a website where I can get a record the highest/lowest temperature for each day for 2023 or do I need to start from now and where can I get the high/low temperature for the day. I would prefer to do one temperature specific for the south.
TIA
