Whether you call it a “Snuggie” a “Slanket“, “Snuglet” or just that big fleece blanket with sleeves, they’re popular, and at this time of year - it’s no wonder! You can curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and your needlework, stay warm and keep your arms free all at the same time.
But you’d rather make your own instead of shelling out $50? Luckily, my lovely friend Karen found a great free pattern to make your own Snuglet!
Welmoed’s Sewing Room has created a PDF how-to for sewing your own fleece blanket from 3 yards of polar fleece. I’ve seen fleece on sale for as low as $5, so it’s a lot more economical to sew your own when you can find the fabric on sale

I just downloaded the pattern for the snuggie, thanks alot. I have wanted one but I just couldn’t see paying what they wanted. I didn’t have any trouble downloading the pattern. I also took down the instructions for the kid sizes also. My family is going to love them. Thanks again
would love the instruction for the kid size snuggie.
thanks
How do I find the instructions for the kid’s size Snuglet?
I just downloaded the pattern for the Snuggie last night after cancelling my order where we’ve waited for 7 weeks plus 32 dollars in shipping!! This afternoon my 3 kids and I went to the fabric store and bought cute and on sale fleece and made 5 Snuggies for us to have when the temp is -10 w/o wind chill!! Thanks for the easy and quick pattern.
I made one of these for my granddaughter and she loved it! I also had the armhole situation but it was no big deal, I just based the armhole and pulled the stictches to fit the sleeve. This was the easiest item I have ever made and ours is a one of a kind and probably better material than the TV ones. (it actually cost me about the same as the TV one but it’s warmer and much nicer)
I Cant find the pattern for the snuggie would you please send it to me I can make them a lot cheeper. thank you partha
As the original poster of the Snuglet pattern, I’m just blown away with how popular it has become. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t get an email about it!! I’m so glad so many people are enjoying making their own Snuglets!!
I made my wife a lavendar one for Valentine’s Day, and she LOVES it. When I bought the fleece, there was an extra half yard on the roll, and the sales lady threw that in for 1/3 the price, which worked out to be around $1. I used that extra length, cut out squares on either side at the bottom (making a tab or sorts) then I folded the tab underneath, sewed on the left and right, and made a foot “pocket.” My wife loves it and the foot pocket keeps her feet extra warm. Just a thought — I think it improves the design. I made the pocket about 15 inches in depth and 20 inches (perhaps a little less) in width.
I admit that I was a bit of a “snuggie-hater” when I first saw the commercials, after all, how can such a simple idea be so great? I got one for Christmas and I am instantly in love! It is so much more convenient, especially when sitting up in a chair while reading, etc. Regular blankets just don’t stay up around you. The “as seen on TV” one only comes in three ugly colors and the material is a bit rough on the skin and is a little too light for my liking. I am excited with this simple pattern to make my own in a fabric that I like.
Thanks for the pattern!
Hi! I made one for my granddaughter in a lavendar swirly material. She was sooo thrilled, and hers (as yours) is a one of a kind! I accidentally sewed the arms the wrong way and had to cut another two feet off the bottom, but it turned out perfect, because it was a good length for her. As for the sleeve being to small for the armhole, I just basted the armhole and pulled the threads to fit, just as you do when sewing from a pattern. This has to be the simplest thing I ever made. I had got fleece on sale at JoAnn’s and the edges don’t fray. I paid a little more, but it’s a better quality, much thicker than the ones on TV. I steal it from her when she’s not looking..LOLOL
i can not op[en the file for the pattern
it said file is damaged
help
Thanks for the pattern, and to those who don’t like the idea of this, well all i can say is don’t make it… thanks again for the pdf file, everything is working great, and thanks for the 8.5 x 6 inch update in comments.
Made a kid-sized snuggie for my 3 year old daughter (again with a foot pocket) using Tinker Bell fleece. She absolutely loves her “Tinka beh nuggie!” Thanks for providing the kid-size proportions, although I discovered that this isn’t a real complex pattern and can modified in any number of ways.
Can you please tell me again how to find the PDF. file for the snuggie. I printed it before but I have misplaced the pattern and once again I cannot find the site. Thanks, Lynn

I was able to access the pattern just a moment ago. Click on the highlighted link that says “PDF how-to” in my post above the comments, and it should open up.
WOW! Thanx so much for this pattern & all the good follow-up info. I’m gonna make 3, for me & my 27yo daughter & my 2yo grandson—then we’re gonna hit the Snuggie Pub Crawl in our town (no, I’m not gonna take the baby to a bar!). Here it’s gonna be at a BBQ restaurant. Check out the website to see if there’s 1 in your town.
As a professional quilting artist, knowing how much people love to cuddle with quilts, I had to try this with a quilt. Of course it works—with thin batting—and is SO COMFY! The cost is higher, of course, but for those who prefer quilts over “blankets,” it’s wonderful. Thank you for the pattern.
Thank you for posting this! My son has been wanting one is his favorite character prints!
Thank you for the pattern I agree about homemade much cheaper. This little housewife very grateful for the detailed info including measurement.
I am going to a conference next week and have been forewarned that the auditorium is ice cold and to take a fleece. I remembered the commercials for snuggies, but it is too late to order one, and they certainly aren’t in Oklahoma stores in the summer! So, I went online and found this pattern, went to Hancock’s and bought the fleece on sale, and made it in just a short period of time. Hating to waste anything, I took the ovals that I cut out for the armholes, folded one end down about 1/3 of the way, serged around them, and used them for cute front pockets. They’ll be handy for Kleenexes, cough drops, etc. next winter. I also turned up a 6″ hem on the sleeves and rolled up the cuffs. Same for the collar. It fits better that way. Thanks for sharing the pattern online!
