What about the polar night?

Days with no sunrise, or no sunset, are counted as 0 or 24 hours.

Any year: daylight is worked out, so past and future years both work.

Which yarn do I need?

The pattern names real shades and their numbers in Stylecraft Special DK (UK), DROPS Paris (Europe) or Red Heart Super Saver (US), and how many balls of each. Or use your own yarn: the pattern gives grams for each colour.

A PDF pattern to print: the cover with your blanket and the colour list, the instructions, every row with its date and a box to tick, and a print of the finished blanket, for €9.90.

A daylight blanket: a year of light

Each row is that day's hours of daylight, from sunrise to sunset in your town. Instead of a jumble of weather, one slow wave: deep winter blues rising to summer gold and back. The farther north, the bigger the wave.
