Create a 13-month afghan, starting and ending with the occasion month, or create a 12-month afghan to record the events of a specific calendar year. Each day of the year is worked in a color representing the high temperature of the day and 20 different appliques are provided to mark specific events throughout the year:

• Announcement
• Bunny
• Car
• Cloud
• Firecracker
• Flower
• Gift
• Heart
• Leaf
• Moon
• Plane
• Pumpkin
• Ring
• Shamrock
• Snowflake
• Stars
• Sun
• Tree
• Turkey
• Wreath

If you need to catch up on a few weather days, websites such as wunderground provide historical weather data.

The size H hook is used for the daily motifs and the size G hook is used for the appliques. Approximately 15 yards are needed for each daily motif and an additional 300 yards of white are needed for the border.
