This blanket is made using weather patterns (eg. rain, snow, fog) rather than using temperatures. The colours can be whatever you want to use, but choose colours that are readily available, as it can be hard to predict how much of each yarn you might need.
Each row will represent one day of weather.

You may want more colours than I used, if you expect the location you choose to have more weather patterns which you would like to capture (eg. Hail, Strong winds).
