Knit a Temperature Scarf in 2025!

We’re knitting in the new year! Come knit with us!

The concept of a temperature scarf is simple:  each day you knit two rows with a color corresponding to the high temperature of the day.  The result is a lovely scarf that reflects the changing of the seasons.

Please stop by the Help Desk to pick up scarf instructions. You can use any yarn.  The yarn we are using is Plymouth Encore Worsted Weight, purchased at Grace Robinson and Company in Freeport and ordered from yarn.com.

What was the high temperature today? Yesterday? We’ve got a chart!
