A fitted blanket has a generally rectangular pocket member attached at its
foot end to fit over the foot of the bed mattress. The pocket member is
formed of a fabric, e.g., flannel, and has top, side, bottom and back
panels, with the top panel having a length dimension of about twelve to
twenty-four inches. The side panels have forward edges that extend
diagonally from the bottom panel to the top panel Elastic extends around
the pocket member is joined to the blanket portion at a seam sewn across
the front edge of the top panel. The deep pocket member of this design
accommodates in comfort the feet of a sleeper in the bed and also resists
being pulled or kicked off the bed.
