Blanket w/ Foot Pocket

I am always cold, and it isn't any different when I am at work.  I have had a blanket to snuggle up in, for the last year and it has helped.  But I think it usually starts with my feet, and if my feet are cold then there is no hope of me getting warm.  So I decided I needed to add a foot pocket to my blanket.  This is what I came up with.


I started with 2 blankets that I already had on hand.  They were not the same but were very similar in color and fabric.


I wanted the larger one to be the blanket so I cut the bottom off the smaller one to the size that I wanted the pocket to be on the blanket.  I wanted the pocket pretty big so my feet could go inside and then cover most of my legs as well (sometimes I wear skirts to work).


I put the right sides of the blanket together


pinned and trimmed off the access.


Then I just sewed around the edges.  I turned the right side out and I had a cozy little blanket that keeps my feeties warm. 


I have had this blanket at work for the last couple weeks and I love it!  The pocket is great for keeping my toes warm but the pocket isn't in the way on the days when I don't need it like if I am wearing boots.  I just lay the blanket on my lap and you can't even see the unused pocket.  It has been great!

Do you need a Foot Pocket Blanket?  It was very easy to make, took less then 30 minutes!
