Temperature blanket

Day 2: Joining the squares

I have made the executive decision to use my artistic license when there is no precipitation. For Day 2, I chose to make the low temperature one circle and the high temperature two. If today is the same color pattern (which I think it will be), I will do two circles of the low temperature and one of the high. Although, it would be totally fine to do two exactly the same right next to each other.

This is my Day 2 square up to round 4. I crocheted tighter this time, so my square is a little smaller than the first one, but once it is joined, no one will notice. (I hope!)

I told you I would tell you how to join today. You’re going to join as you are crocheting Round 5 using the bumps made by the ch. 3 spaces on the first square.

See the bumps below?

Here is a picture of the squares put together. I decided to attach a marker to the bottom left corner, so that I would always know where square one is! Try weaving ends in as you go. It’ll be so much better at the end.

Happy crocheting! I will post more on the temperature blanket when I have a week done.
