At the end of the year we usually think about our goals for the next year. At least that’s what I do. So, one thing I always consider is the temperature blanket. But I usually have doubts about patterns and yarn. Today I came up with the idea that it would be fun to make a floral temperature blanket out of tiny daisies. So I designed this tiny square. I think the middle part may be the highest temperature of the day and the background the lowest temperature of the day. And I think the flower petals in each square might be white. This square ends with a row of single crochets, so all the squares can be joined together using the join-as-you-go method.
