Abstract

A blanket including an array of seams configured to be selectably removable to adjust the length of the blanket. The blanket includes a first side end and a second side end having a plurality of coded coupling devices. The coded coupling devices are positioned and coded in a manner such that when the coded coupling devices are coupled according to a first code, the blanket forms a cylindrical wrap. The coded coupling devices may be coupled according to a second code, wherein the blanket forms a sleeved cape. The first code is indicated by a first color and the second code is indicated by a second color. The blanket includes a waterproof layer configured to be water resistant and an insulation layer configured to retain heat. The blanket includes a hood having a plurality of coupling devices configured to selectably couple to the blanket.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This invention claims priority, under 35 U.S.C. § 120, to the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 328,481 by Shirley Hibbs filed on Apr. 27, 2010, which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to blankets, specifically to a multi-configuration blanket.[0004]2.
