A Guide to Viking Hooded Blankets
Part blanket, part oversized hoodie, a hooded blanket is the cosiest way to fly Norse colours at home. Wrap up on the sofa, on the porch or at a bonfire while gods, wolves and warriors keep you company. Here is how to choose the right one.
Why choose a hooded blanket
- Wearable warmth. A built-in hood and roomy cut let you stay wrapped up while keeping your hands free.
- Sofa and outdoors. Perfect for movie nights, cold mornings, camping and firepit evenings.
- One size, easy gift. Generous, oversized shapes suit most people, which makes them a safe gift choice.
Materials and feel
Most hooded blankets are made from soft microfleece with a warm, brushed feel, and many are printed with all-over Norse artwork. The fabric is lightweight yet insulating, so it traps warmth without feeling heavy. Check each product page for the format and any size details listed.
Designs and their meaning
Blanket designs favour big, bold Norse imagery: Odin the Allfather, the wolf Fenrir, ravens, warriors and runes. To go deeper on the wolf that features on so many of these blankets, read about Fenrir, the lord of the wolves, or browse the full Norse symbols guide.
How to choose and care
Want maximum cosiness? Pick a heavier microfleece design. Buying a gift? The oversized cut takes the worry out of sizing. To keep it soft, wash on a cool, gentle cycle, avoid high-heat tumble-drying and do not iron the printed fleece. Pair it with more comfort pieces from our Viking home decor range.
