How to Make The 20 Minute Blanket Poncho:

To complete this project, you will need some cozy plaid fabric (I’ll be using some wool fabric with a fuzzy, soft backing. It feels plush on the inside and looks cute on the outside) cut to 1 1/2 yards. I used some brown plaid flannel like this.

After you have picked out your fabric, fold it in half (hot dog style) to make a long rectangular shape. Next, fold it in half again (hamburger style) to  find the middle of your fabric.

The folded, middle-section of your fabric is going to be the opening for your neck, so cut a small, half-U shape out to create a hole for your head.

You are almost done. Are you ready?

Next, cut a line down the fold through one piece of the folded fabric. Your fabric should look like the picture above.

Unfold your fabric to reveal a rectangular, open-front jacket. To give it some shape and tailoring, just cut two 3″ slits through both pieces of fabric on either side of your waist and slide a belt through.

When you put it on, you should have something like this:

I know it’s a super-cheesy photo, but here you can see the shape of the belted jacket more clearly and get an idea of where to place your 3″ holes to slide your belt through.

I love how this jacket feels like a cozy blanket that is socially acceptable to wear in public. Plus, since you can make these in less than 20 minutes, it’s easy to build a little collection in different prints, fabrics, and styles.
