Introducing a unique knitting journey that weaves the moon’s dance into your stitches – the Lunar Temperature Blanket. This pattern transforms the daily moon phase and moon sign into a celestial tapestry. Each row in MC represents a lunar phase, while the moon sign in CC adds cosmic magic. Choose a color palette reflecting the zodiac or your favorite colors, merging what you love with the lunar dance. Craft a cosmic diary, capturing moments in time with each stitch.

The Lunar Temperature Blanket is knitted from the bottom up and worked flat (back and forth).
