A hooded blanket is handy at outdoor sporting events or just when lounging around the house. This fleece blanket is durable, washable and warm. Make your fleece hooded blanket similar to a poncho because it provides the most coverage and comfort.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Pick the fleece material. This blanket design is fairly basic. Choose to use different colors or patterns or use one solid color. The blanket size is 6 feet x 7 feet and fits a queen size bed. Pick the colors accordingly.
Step2
Measure the fabric for the blanket. It needs to be 6 feet, 1 inch on one side and 7 feet, 1 inch on the other. The 1 inch length is for the hem. Sew the fabric together to make the 6 x 7 foot blanket.
Step3
Fold the fabric 1/2 inch around the edges. Pin the fabric down. Hem around the outside of the blanket.
Step4
Find the exact center of the blanket. Cut a 1 foot square out of the middle of the fabric.
Step5
Cut out two 1-foot squares of fleece. Sew one side of each of the squares to each other to make the hood.
Step6
Place the hood in hole. Sew 3 sides of the square into the blanket. Leave a side open for the head to fit through.
Step7
Hem around the edge of the hood and the fourth side of the square in the blanket.

Tips & Warnings

  • Change the size of the hooded blanket to make smaller sizes for children.
  • Make this design out of towels to create a hooded towel.
