Making it perfect for baby’s first year without feeling overwhelming. Using simple single crochet stitches and worsted weight yarn, it’s approachable for beginners and easy to customize with a wide range of colors.
This pattern works beautifully whether you start on baby’s birthday or begin on January 1 for the year they were born. It’s a meaningful way to mark milestones, seasons, and memories, all stitched into one cozy blanket. The smaller scale also makes it a great option for those who love the idea of a temperature blanket but want a more realistic daily commitment.
Finished as a soft, practical baby blanket, this project becomes more than just crochet. It’s a keepsake meant to be loved, used, and hopefully passed down through generations. Whether made for your own child or as a heartfelt gift, this temperature blanket is a beautiful way to tell a story, one stitch at a time.
