This is a blanket that can also be used as a poncho or bolero. I received it as a gift when I was cold during winter breastfeeding, but I forgot to use it and it's been stored away, still new and unused. How about it for winter cold protection, or for use as a lap blanket in the office? Please note that when shipping, I will compress and refold it to adjust the thickness before sending.
