A lightweight blanket with insulating properties being made of a sheet of pliable material and having a number of internal pockets, is convertible to and from a tote by folding portions of the sheet over and upon one another about transverse and longitudinal folds. Carrying handles are positioned in registry with one another and fastened together after folding the sheet portions and used as a convenient grip for carrying the tote.

(d) the third sealable pocket constructed between the first and second outer layers extending in the direction of the longitudinally parallel side edges for a distance of one-third the longitudinal length of the longitudinally parallel side edges from the second transversely parallel end edge, the third sealable pocket extending in the transverse direction of the second transversely parallel end edge for a distance of one-fourth the transverse width between the first and second longitudinally parallel side edges, commencing on the second longitudinally parallel side edge and terminating on a line parallel with the longitudinally parallel side edges located one-fourth of the width of the second transversely parallel end edge between the first and second longitudinally parallel side edges from the second longitudinally parallel side edge; (e) the first carrying strap attaching along a first transverse axis extending between the first and second longitudinally parallel side edges, the first transverse axis located at a position one-third the longitudinal length of the longitudinally parallel side edges from the first transversely parallel end edge, the first carrying strap attaching to and commencing at the first longitudinally parallel side edge and laying in a first sewn channel between the first and second outer layers for a transverse width of one-fourth of the first transverse axis from the first longitudinally parallel side edge, the first sewn channel consisting of two parallel seams sewn through the first and second outer layers along the first transverse axis forming a channel between the first and second outer layers in which the first carrying strap freely lays, the first parallel carrying strap passing through a first eyelet extending through the first outer layer to abut the first outer layer for a transverse width of one-half the length of the first transverse axis and attaching to the first outer layer by complimentary pairs of fastener means, one half of each of which complimentary pairs are located respectively on the abutting surfaces of the first carrying strap and the first outer layer along the first transverse axis, the first carrying strap passing through a second eyelet extending through the first outer layer to a second sewn channel between the first and second layers, the first carrying strap freely laying in the second sewn channel for a transverse width of one-fourth the first transverse axis and attaching to and terminating at the second longitudinally parallel side edge, the second sewn channel consisting of two parallel seams sewn through the first and second outer layers along the first transverse axis forming a channel between the first and second outer layers in which the first carrying strap freely lays; (f) the second carrying strap parallel to the first carrying strap attaching along a second transverse axis parallel to the first transverse axis extending between the first and second longitudinally parallel side edges, the second transverse axis located at a position one-third the longitudinal length of the longitudinally parallel side edges from the second transversely parallel end edge, the second carrying strap attaching to and commencing at the first longitudinally parallel side edge and laying in a third sewn channel between the first and second outer layers for a transverse width of one-fourth of the second transverse axis from the first longitudinally parallel side edge, the third sewn channel consisting of two parallel seams sewn through the first and second outer layers along the second transverse axis forming a channel between the first and second outer layers in which the second carrying strap lays, the second carrying strap passing through a third eyelet extending through the first outer layer to abut the first outer layer of the sheet for a transverse width of one-half the length of the second transverse axis and attaching to the first outer layer by complimentary pairs of fastener means, one half of each of which complimentary pairs are located respectively on the abutting surfaces of the second carrying strap and the first outer layer along the second transverse axis, the complimentary pairs of fastener means located on the first carrying strap and first transverse axis are located complimentary but inverse to the complimentary pairs of fastener means located on the second carrying strap and second transverse axis so that the one-half of the respective complimentary fastener means of the first and second carrying straps are complimentary and attach to each other when the blanket is folded into a tote and the first and second carrying straps are in registry with each other, the second carrying strap passing through a fourth eyelet extending through the first outer layer to a fourth sewn channel between the first and second layers, the second carrying strap laying in the fourth sewn channel between the first and second layers for a transverse width of one-fourth of the second transverse axis and attaching to and terminating at the second longitudinally parallel side edge, the fourth sewn channel consisting of two parallel seams sewn through the first and second outer layers along the second transverse axis forming a channel between the first and second outer layers in which the second carrying strap lays;
