High Temperature Cross Stitch Pattern - Temperature Library 1 - PDF INSTANT DOWNLOAD

UPDATED to include charted numerals 0-9 for you to stitch this pattern in future years. Record the high, low, or average temperatures for the year with this temperature bookshelf pattern. Each shelf represents a month (January is at the top) and each book represents a day with the color corresponding to the temperature for that day. I designed this pattern to look like my bookshelves, which are a bit higgelty piggelty, and display some of our treasures. The first picture shows a simulated stitch using the high temperatures for Mississippi, USA in 2020 (minus February 29). The pattern is charted in DMC 6 strand embroidery floss, with all the books in black (310), and 2 grays (2 and 4).

The first picture is the simulated stitched for my region, the second and third pictures are how it is charted with black, and two greys representing the books (these are what you will replace with your temperatures).

You can find your high temperatures at many places including weather.com, acuweather.com, and weatherbug.com. You can easily find historical temperatures at https://www.wunderground.com/history/ (this will help you decide your temperature ranges). Unfortunately, I do not provide temperature tables for different regions. If you want a more detailed explanation of how to create your temperature table, please check out my video at: https://youtu.be/0CUOnUxPpeY , and if you would like me to create the table for you I have a listing for that option in my Etsy shop.

I hope you enjoy stitching this and when you do, please tag me on Instagram so I can see your progress: @dr_kristi Thank you!
