Product Information

It’s not the warmest one we tried (think late autumn chills rather than depths-of-winter, below-freezing temperatures) but we’d probably say this was the most practical, while this pale pink colour we chose (prettier in real life than our phone camera could capture) is about as ‘feminine’ as one of these items could get. As the name suggests, the best hooded blankets sit somewhere between a giant wearable hoodie and a cosy throw. There are also now lots of online-only brands that specialise in these hoodies, like Oodie, Kudd.ly and Snuggly. We did find this one to be ever so slightly looser around the bottom, letting the odd autumnal draft in – but on the plus side Snuggly says theirs can be tumble dried on a low heat, unlike Oodie’s. If you buy a hooded blanket from another brand, make sure to read the care instructions on the label for the specific directions. ARE OODIES ONE SIZE FITS ALL?

If you’re after that fluffier, soft-as-clouds style of fleece rather than the denser type of, say, Oodie, this is the best one we tested.Extra large, extra warm and extra snuggly, Kudd.ly’s hoodie is like wearing a bear hug and is so big you’ll be able to curl your entire body up inside. If you bought a Oodie, you can absolutely throw it in the washing machine to make cleaning easy. Ensure you set a gentle cycle using mild detergents that are safe for wool or silks. For maximum durability, you should wash your Oodie by hand. It’s also important to know that Oodies are air-dry only – don’t you go throwing yours in the tumble dryer! Today I am bringing you the Cheshire Cat in the form of a hooded blanket. You gotta love that big grin! We did try hooded blankets that kept us slightly warmer, but thanks to Onesnug’s ‘MicroCool’ fabric, this won’t leave you feeling uncomfortably hot and sweaty.

NOTE: The free version of this pattern does not come with the same help, just because it’s not fair on those who support me and bought this pattern. It’s definitely one for wearing while cosying up on the sofa rather than when trying to get anything productive done, as its size and weight make it a little cumbersome, and the large hood often falls over the eyes – great for napping, not so great for WFH. This will make a great present or birthday gift and with a little customization, you can turn it into an original Halloween costume. If you are completely new to crocheting, I recommend starting with beginner patterns and building up your confidence, pay attention to the skill level of my patterns and buy only if you are already at that level. Read below for more information about this crochet pattern, supplies, stitches, and videos designed to help you.This is a cuddly, warm hooded blanket your child or yourself can snuggle in, and then it folds into a fun and decorative pillow in the shape of a Cheshire cat. We especially loved the long, snug-fitting elasticated cuffs – perfect for keeping heat in and sleeves out of food – and the protective bag it comes in, for storing it neatly away in warmer months. The long elasticated cuffs at the wrists are also useful, keeping your sleeves rolled up and well out of the way if you want to, say, type or cook. They may also help to save you money on your heating bill this winter too, as heating the body is always a cheaper option than heating the home; ideal if you work from home or spend long periods of time bingeing Netflix on the sofa. This hoodie is, of course, oversized, but not so big around the hood or sleeves that you can’t see, eat or type – we could comfortably wear this at our WFH desk or walking around the house without it getting in the way.

The Oodie is super warm. The sherpa fleece lining is so cosy and soft, it literally feels like snuggling up to a cloud. I’ve been wearing it non-stop during the freezing early mornings and at night curled up on the couch watching Netflix. Since I’ve got it, I haven’t turned on my heater once! It’s a lifesaver in winter. Also I am a big fan of the fun patterns and prints Oodie does because if you’re going to be wearing an Oodie, it might as well be fun. As a #catmum I obviously chose the cat print one and then forced my cat into a photoshoot with me, naturally. Be warned, if you have a cat or a dog, they’re absolutely going to be sleeping on your Oodie because it’s just that soft and snug.

WITH temperatures dropping and heating costs rising, an oversized hooded blanket should be an essential item of loungewear this autumn and winter. The Cheshire Cat Hooded Blanket was designed with the Halloween lover in mind. If you like spooky & dark-themed decorations and designs, this blanket is for you. It also got the ‘paws up’ from our feline tester, who couldn’t stop kneading into this super-soft fabric (on the downside this sherpa fabric does collect cat hair like a magnet…) Hooded blankets have become so popular that they’re now widely available across the high street, from upmarket lifestyle stores like The White Company to your local supermarket. The 2in1 Cheshire cat hooded blanket acts as a fun blanket (complete with mittens and a hood) and decoration for the room.

Arguably the original and most famous, the word ‘Oodie’ is now synonymous with hooded blankets – we even found ourselves telling people that we were “testing out Oodies” when talking about this feature. I never thought I’d be caught dead in an Oodie, but given how cold it’s been lately, my usual winter throw just hasn’t been keeping me warm enough. On the recommendation of my colleague Hannah, who has often raved about how warm Oodies are, I caved and decided I needed to see if it lived up to the hype. And yeah, I hate to admit it but IT TOTALLY DOES. It plugs into the wall like a traditional heated throw, with a remote to control the power, heat intensity and amount of time it stays on for. And it also has an auto-shut-off function. Your biggest problem will probably be deciding which design to go for, as there are tens, if not hundreds to choose from (we lost count at 80), including animals, food, star signs – even ones from franchises like Harry Potter and Friends.

Fortunately we stumbled across this viral TikTok video that breaks down the best way to fold your Oodie for storage — and it’s blown our minds. They can seem an expensive buy for something you’re almost certainly not going to wear outside of the house, but if you spend a lot of time at home – whether working or relaxing – they could be a good investment, especially as they wash well in the washing machine.
