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.
