Snuggle Blanket

Question: Anyone have instructions on making the snuggle blankets like on the commercials?

I would like to try to make the fleece throws that you can put your arms through. I can't find any info on the web.

This might sound stupid but you could get a blanket and sew some long sleeves on it!

Fold a blanket in half, then sew it along one of the short ends (this is where you put your feet) half-way up the blanket, cut the center about 8 inches, and hem the edges (for the hand openings) you can also do a knotted border by cutting 2 inch strips along the top edge.

Those Snugglies you see on TV are just extra long robes worn backwards so building your own is as simple as building a robe with a few mods to wear backwards for easier project try a cloak they make great blankets that you can wear complete with hood

OMG! I've never seen one of those things! They will sell you anything, won't they??! It seems the back is left open... and you stay warm and snuggly inside? I don't think so! But you can easily make one out of a long piece of fleece. You need to make two tubes -- the sleeves -- which you than attach to the main body. Near the top, cut a vertical slit at the quarter mark from each edge of your blanket. Attach the sleeves to that slit... and that is all there is to it. I've seen a knitted one somewhere, that had buttons you would do up to make sleeves, and it closed along the bottom for your feet. It had the opening at the front, and you were able to make a hood with one end, and the whole front would close... almost like a sleeping bag! Use your imagination. If you already have something that is almost right, make the modifications in this fleece version, and it will be perfect.
