Pattern Work the blanket in 3 distinct stages as shown in the diagram; (1) start with

increasing the diagonal of the blanket from 1 January to 25 May, (2) keep

the diagonal constant and increase only the length of the blanket from

26 May to 9 August, and (3) decrease the diagonal of the blanket from

10 August to 31 December.

Part 1: Increasing the diagonal

In the first part of the pattern increase the diagonal till the width of the

main part of the blanket is reached.

Row 1 (RS)

The color for Row 1 corresponds to January 1st, 2018. Ch6, 1dc in fourth ch

from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to the end. Turn your work.

[1 pixel]

Row 2 (WS)

ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to complete a pixel. With the WS of pixel 1

facing and the RS of the pixel of Row 2 just worked facing, line up the top of the dc just worked with the top of

the dc’s of from Row 1 so that the 2 pixels are touching, ss in the space created by the ch3 at the top of pixel of

Row 1. Ch3, 3dc in ch3-space. Turn your work. [2 pixels]

Row 3 (RS)

ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to complete a pixel. Rotate the pixel just

worked so that you can ss in the ch3-space at the top of the last block worked from Row 2. Ch3, 3dc in same

ch3-space as the ss, ss in ch3-space at the top of the next pixel, ch3, 3dc in the same ch3-space as the ss. Turn

your work. [3 pixels]

Row 4

ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to complete a pixel. Rotate the pixel just

worked so that you can ss in the ch3-space at the top of the last block worked from the previous row. *Ch3, 3dc

in same ch3-space as the ss, ss in ch3-space at the top of the next pixel. Repeat from * until you have worked a

ss in the ch3-space of the last block of the previous row. Ch3, 3dc in the same ch3-space as the ss. Turn your

work. [1 pixels more than the previous row]

Rows 5 – 145

Repeat Row 4 using the appropriate colors for each row.

The color for Row 145 corresponds to May 25th, 2018.


Part 2: Constant diagonal

In this part the diagonal is kept constant. This means that the number of pixels per row is the same for each row.

At this point you should have 145 pixels on your diagonal.

Row 146

The color for Row 146 corresponds to May 26th, 2018. Turn your work, ss into the next stitches and into the ch3-

space. *Ch3, 3dc in same ch3-space as the ss, ss in ch3-space at the top of the next pixel. Repeat from * until

you have worked a ss in the ch3-space of the last block of the previous row. Ch3, 3dc in the same ch3-space as

the ss. Turn your work. [145 pixels]

Row 147

Ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to complete a pixel. Rotate the pixel just

worked so that you can ss in the ch3-space at the top of the last block worked from the previous row. *Ch3, 3dc

in same ch3-space as the ss, ss in ch3-space at the top of the next pixel. Repeat from * until you have worked a

ss in the ch3-space of the last block of the previous row. Do not work a pixel on top of the last pixel from the

previous row. [145 pixels]

Rows 148 - 220

Repeat Rows 146 and 147 using the appropriate colors for each row. Row 220 is the last row at which the

diagonal is kept constant.

Row 221

The color for Row 221 corresponds to August 10th, 2018. Turn your work, ss into the next stitches and into the

ch3-space. *Ch3, 3dc in same ch3-space as the ss. ss in ch3-space at the top of the next pixel. Repeat from *

until you have worked a ss in the ch3-space of the last block of the previous row. Turn your work without

working on top of the last pixel. [1 pixels less than the previous row]

Rows 222 - 365

Repeat Row 221 using the appropriate colors for each row.

The color for Row 365 corresponds to December 31st, 2018.

Calculate the average temperature for your home town for 2018 based on all the temperatures you worked

during the year. Work the border in the average temperature color.

Row 1

*(sc, ch2, sc) in the corner of any pixel at the corner of the blanket. ** ch3, skip the next pixel, sc between two

pixels. ** Repeat from ** to ** till the last pixel, ch3, skip to the corner pixel. * Repeat from * to * 3 more times.

Close with a ss to the first s. ss to corner ch2-space.

Row 2

(ch3, dc, ch2, 2dc) in ch2-space. *skip next sc, 3dc in next ch3-space * Repeat from * to * till the last ch3-space,

skip last sc.

*(2dc, ch2, 2dc) in ch2-space. ** skip next sc, 3dc in next ch3-space. ** Repeat from ** to ** till the last ch3-

space, skip last sc. * Repeat from * to * 2 more times. Close to ch3 with ss. ss to ch2-space.

Row 3

(ch3, dc, ch2, 2dc) in ch2-space. 1dc in every s to end. *(2dc, ch2, 2dc) in ch2-space. 1dc in every s to end. *
