Customer Project: Bear Burrito Blanket

by Steve Green

• OVERVIEW
• HOW DO I MAKE IT
• MATERIALS

• A winter hammock blanket.  The one unique thing about it is the 1.8 Airwave on the bottom that keeps it from sliding off a bed or sofa.  In fact, my wife has already stolen it for use on the sofa.
• I followed the blanket making video on the website here.  My only adjustment was because the blanket was too big and heavy to slide around a sewing table easily, I just flopped the material on the floor and slid my sewing machine around the perimeter to make the main stitches.

• Required Materials:

  Airwave 1.8 on the bottom, .66 Membrane 10 on the top.   Apex Climashield 10 oz for filling.  KAM Snap 20s on perimeter.  A chonky 4 lbs total, but this and a plain hammock is all I need for cold, clear winter nights.
