The blanket is more of a wearable blanket. I love the fairisle pattern on the wearable blanket as I always associate this style with Christmas and winter. The bonus of the wearable blanket is that it comes with holes for your arms so you can still easily hold your brew or glass of bubbly on Christmas morning. The hood on this one is detachable so you can actually turn it into a regular Christmas themed throw for your sofa or bed.
