Stitch this fun 365 days project for the new year! Create a one-of-a-kind design that reflects the changing temperatures throughout the year. This counted cross stitch pattern will result in a colorful display of butterflies that change in color throughout the year. Stitch one patch on a butterfly wing each day using one of 20 different floss colors - whichever one has been assigned to that day's high temperature - and watch your butterfly display grow! Each butterfly contains exactly the right amount of patches for the days in that month.
The first picture shows an example design using temperatures from my town during the year 2017. There are four different temperature range keys I have created that allow for people in different climates to participate and all still have a colorful design. Each version contains the same range of 20 DMC embroidery floss colors. The "Varied" version has temperatures ranging from 27-100 degrees Fahrenheit in 4 degree increments, with each increment assigned a DMC color. The "Hot" version ranges from 50 to 110 degrees, the "Cold" version ranges from 12 to 85 degrees, and the "Extreme" version ranges from -10 to 110 degrees (Celsius conversions are included). ***All four temperature charts are included in this instant download.***
A great resource for finding temperatures in your hometown is accuweather.com. Within the Local Weather page, choose the "Month" view, and you can see temperatures for the past year.
