Ok, so at first I had a love/hate relationship with my hooded blanket. It is very soft, beautiful and surprisingly warm for a thinner blanket. If you are used to taking your favorite blanket and wrapping it around your shoulders, this will be an adjustment, or it was for me. My other blankets stay on my shoulders with little effort. This hooded blanket is so soft and velvety that it slides right off until the only thing holding it on is the hood, lol. So I had to learn how to work with it, how to deal it on my arms and how to hold my body so it stayed in place. I do really love it. In a sitting position, it isn't a problem, just when moving around with it on. I am planning to add a couple of snap fasteners to it in order to improve the design. I would buy it again regardless. It's my favorite thing to curl up with.
