The Temperature Snake is an amigurumi-style riff on the temperature blanket/scarf, where you crochet one row per day to represent the maximum temperature that day.
Temperature Snake is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank. This is the pattern that was used for the 2023 worldwide crochet-along!
TEMPERATURE SNAKE CROCHET PATTERN: This pattern has several options you can choose between to create a completely custom snake, with two examples so you can get an idea of how all the options look:
- Two different snake sizes (full sized, or the faster 3/4 sized)
- Two different lengths (one round per day, or one every other day for a shorter snake) - plus bonus instructions for a minimal twice-weekly snake
- Two different tongues (the easier full-sized tongue, or the more realistic slender tongue)
You can get adventurous and mix-and-match any of these options to create your snake, or copy them all from your favourite of my sample snakes. The pattern also includes lots of tips for making perfect stripes, and how to stuff and manage your snake as it grows.
TEMPERATURE SNAKE WORKBOOK: This pattern also includes a bonus 25-page Workbook that walks you step-by-step through everything you need to figure out your colours and calculate the temperature range for your location, suggestions for colour palettes, and printable worksheets (that are also fillable digital forms, if you prefer) so you can log your temperatures and colours over the year:
- Step 1: Find Your Temperature Range
- Step 2: Create Your Temperature Scale
- Step 3: Choose Your Snake Options
- Step 4: Choose Your Colours & Yarns (with four example colour palettes to choose from)
- Logging Your Temperatures to Find Your Colours
- Worksheets (My Temperature Snake, Quarterly Temperature Logs)
I’ll show you how to choose a temperature range that suits your climate, and design a colour scheme around your favourite amigurumi yarns. Use a traditional colour scheme, or one that suits your taste. I’ll give you guidance with each step as you create your personalized temperature/colour chart that you’ll use throughout the year as your snake progresses.
YARN: worsted weight yarn in multiple colours. (Yardage depends on the number of colours you choose and which size of snake you're making. The pattern explains how to estimate how much you'll need, but in all cases you'll need less than one 50g ball of each colour.)
HOOK: US E / 3.5mm
SIZE: very approximately: 7ft, 4ft or 2ft depending on the options you choose!
EYES: 9mm (small snake) or 10mm (large snake)

Before you can complete your order, you'll need to enter "yes" in the 'Personalization' box to confirm you understand you are buying a single-user licence for a crochet pattern to make the item you see in the photos for this listing, NOT the finished item that you see in the photos. Your pattern will be downloadable as a PDF file from PlanetJune; see 'Delivery Information' below for details. All sales are final.
DELIVERY INFORMATION
This/these pattern(s) will be downloadable from PlanetJune.com as PDF file(s) once I have processed your order and issued your pattern licences. I aim to process Etsy orders once a day, even on weekends and holidays when I can, and within 24-48 hours whenever possible. I'll email you with your download details when your order has been processed - please check your Spam folder for an email with subject 'your PlanetJune download instructions' if you don't see my email!
I don't sell my patterns through Etsy downloads, as I don’t sell just *PDF copies of crochet patterns* as other Etsy sellers do, I sell *perpetual single-user licences* for my patterns, which give you far more! All pattern licences are processed through the PlanetJune shop, and they offer you all of my licencing perks (including unlimited downloads, free updates, customer support whenever you need it, etc - see 'Pattern Licence Information', below).
Your PlanetJune account gives you unlimited access to all your PlanetJune pattern purchases, in case you ever need to download another copy, or if there's an update to the pattern. If you don't already have a PlanetJune account using the email address you use for your Etsy account, I'll create one for you using that email (UNLESS you request the account be created with a different email address and/or as a gift - please see my shop's Frequently Asked Questions for gifting instructions).
