If you’ve just found PlanetJune from the article about my Temperature Snake CAL in the latest issue of Simply Crochet magazine, I’m so glad you’re here! Please take a look around my site and let me know if you have any questions.<\/p>\n

\"Simply<\/p>\n

If you’d like to jump into the crochet-along with us, you can learn more about how it works and pick up the Temperature Snake pattern here<\/a>, then start choosing your yarn colours!<\/p>\n

\"Temperature<\/p>\n

If you’re new to amigurumi-style crochet, you can find crochet tutorials for all the techniques you’ll need (the magic ring<\/strong> and invisible decrease<\/strong> are the two absolute essentials) on my Crochet Tutorials page<\/a>. And there are links in the pattern to more help and tutorials (like my Ultimate Stripes technique<\/a>, which is optional, but I recommend it if you want to make the most perfect stripes for your snake).<\/p>\n

You’ll find Temperature Snake CAL threads in both the PlanetJune community groups (on Ravelry and Discord – see details for how to join the PlanetJune community here<\/a>) or, if you prefer to share on Facebook or Instagram, remember to tag me @PlanetJune whenever you post an update so I can see your progress!<\/p>\n

\"Temperature\"Temperature<\/div>\n

This is a low-key, supportive CAL. Make progress on your snake whenever you have time, and we’ll cheer you along as you go! If you want to make a 2023 snake, the pattern includes a link to a website with historical temperatures, so you can get the data for the temperatures in your area back to the start of the year (or use any source you prefer – for example, I like to use my local weather TV channel’s website!)<\/p>\n

There are two ways you can get your snake caught up:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n
    Once you get used to the pattern, you’ll be able to fly through a few weeks of stripes in a single session, so enjoy a couple of good catch-up sessions and you’ll be caught up in no time.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Or, you can make two or three rounds per day instead of one for the rest of the year – you’ll be playing catch up for a while this way, but you’ll still be ready to finish your snake in December with the rest of us.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Take it at your own pace, and enjoy watching your snake’s colours change with the seasons as it grows throughout the year.<\/p>\n
