I found a few patterns online and just picked parts I wanted. It is made from two 36" x 41" pieces of fabric sewed right side together and then turned right side out.
The velcro strips are made from two 3" x 9" fabric pieces sewed right sides together and turned right side out. Then top stitched around edges 1/4" and put on velcro or snaps. I made two of those and pinned on the large blanket piece not in the middle but about 23" from short edge making it a little longer in the front than in the back, then I centered them 4.5" from center line.
I folded up the corners 7 3/4" so the corners would not drag on the floor. See photo pattern attached.
