The basic idea is that you knit or crochet one row per day of a blanket in a color that coordinates with the temperature. If you use about eight to ten different colors, you’ll get a beautiful variation throughout the year. Depending on the climate where you live, each color will probably correspond to between five and twelve degrees. (source)

Obviously the more colors in your palette, the more variance you get in your overall blanket or crochet afghan. Temperature blankets are a fun way to document a birth year for a child or a special occasion such as a first wedding anniversary.
Temperature blankets are very popular right now and come in many different designs and patterns, you are sure to find a free pattern to suit your crochet skills.
I totally fell in love with the first pattern pictured above. It is in the square patterns of pink, mauve, blue, green. As many times as I tried I cannot bring up the pattern. If indeed it is a free pattern I would love to have it, I have knit and crochet for 62 years but that pattern speaks to me personally so I would love to make it. Thank you so much. I appreciate your artistic talents. Kelly.
The one you are looking for with the squares is this one.
