Could you not just cut a hole in a fleece blanket and save yourself thirty quid? Or is that just me being really tight........

No way! Knuffles are a really thick, soft and light fleece with arm holes and a cosy neck. Because they are such a good quality fleece, it looks like a piece of clothing and not like a fleece blanket with a hole cut in it. Incredibly comforting to wear and perfect for when it gets cold at night .I think you might just be being a tad bit tight....

Hi do you have a link? I just googled knuffle and got a lot of book sites - there's a famous story rabbit called knuffle bunny!

hi my 8 yr old son has a knuffel, from the camping travel store. and it is fab, he loves it. he wears it at home instead of a dressing gown. 

it is two really thick layers of fleece (not one micro fleece like on the high street)it also has a very large pocket so you can pop in a hot water bottle. you can also fold it into itself to make a pillow.  you can tuck you arms inside and its even big enough to curl his legs up inside of it. it has a turtle neck so no drafts get down your neck. great for inside the sleeping bag on cold nights and comming back from the showers.

so no you could not cut a hole in a fleece blanket and make do or buy similar from the high street. will buy one for me also, as sleeves won't get in the way when cooking. as for the slanket would be a pain omho for camping too long for walking, long sleeves get in the way and only thin fleece, and the back is open.

This product is something similar

and I love the cool colours!

festival blanket real funky, but no where near the thickness of the knuffel and it doesn't open at the front.

although you can't really tell from the photo. not seen anything as thick as the knuffel.

Hi the grandparents got our daughter (4yr old) one of these for Crimbo and she loves it...well that when she get get her hands on it and get it off her mum!! Looks like I'll have to be getting some of the larger ones for the rest of the family to stop the rows at the campsite as they both wear it indoors... who needs blankets and throws!! Get one they are ace, and not thin and crappy others i've seen. (Really Knuffley is that a word??)
