Blanket with Foot Pouch

Abstract

The Blanket with Foot Pouch of the present invention is used while laying down, sitting down, or standing up and is specifically and uniquely designed with a strategically positioned foot pouch section that provide support to the legs and keeps them warm when worn and prevents excess fabric from being in the way to trip others. The shape and dimensions of the foot pouch are determined to provide optimal comfort to the legs while minimizing the creation of trip hazards while in use.
