Beaded Temperature Scarf

If you’ve been working on your temperature project since January then you may be getting a little tired of your project. Congrats if you’re not, but it’s okay if you are! It’s pretty normal for me. If you want a quick project to reinvigorate you, then look no further than this pattern, my Beaded Temperature Scarf.

I made up this pattern as a quick win, either for those working on another temperature project or for those wanting a smaller project. It’s a nice project to work on in the warm summer months. Also, when you’re finished you’ll have a neat accessory to wear.

Notes:

The temperatures for my scarf run from January through December, minus 2 days. I did NOT put any divisions between months. There are 14 beads in each row and beads in every other row if you want to tweak your project some.

The scarf comes out to be 26″ long at a year. If you would like your scarf longer, each 2 weeks you add will add 1″.

I used white for my project. If you use another color, make sure it doesn’t drown out your beads.

My beads were bought from Fire Mountain Gems and I have included the links to the exact ones I used. I used 8 colors, but you can use as many or as few colors as you want.

The chain 4 counts as a dc, ch 1 throughout
