Blanket having a foot cavity

Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a blanket with an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion includes a first and second opening removably covered by a first and second flap, respectively. The lower portion includes a fold axis separating the lower portion into a first lower portion and a second lower portion. When the lower portion is folded at the fold axis, the first lower portion faces the second lower portion and the fold axis is the most distal end of the blanket from the upper portion. The lower portion further includes a mechanism for coupling the outer edges of the first lower portion to the outer edges of the second lower portion to create a foot cavity.
