Union Jack Blanket for Flag Lovers and Anglophiles

Union Jack Blanket shows the red, white and blue flag of the United Kingdom spread across the full throw. The bold diagonal crosses and bright bands are instantly recognizable, and they make a strong centerpiece on any sofa or bed. It is a design that speaks clearly through color and shape alone.

The design piece by piece

The blue field runs behind the whole flag, with the white saltire crossing it diagonally from corner to corner. Over that sits the red cross of Saint George, bordered in white, which gives the flag its sharp central focus. Thin white and red stripes sweep out toward the edges, so the eye keeps moving across the throw. The flag has no lettering, so every line and color does the work. Because the pattern is so large and bold, it reads well from across the room. Its crisp edges and even spacing give the whole layout a tidy, graphic feel. It is a design that belongs in a room that likes clean color.

Everyday moments

You will likely notice the flag first, then the way it wraps around the back of a chair. Many people reach for it on a cold evening, sitting with a hot cup of tea and a film about the English countryside. It also works on a guest bed, where a visitor from abroad can spot the flag and feel at home. The bold pattern makes it a conversation starter at casual get-togethers.

When you need a gift

This blanket suits birthdays, housewarmings and farewell parties, especially for someone heading off to live in Britain. It also fits a royal wedding watch party or a jubilee celebration. Give it to a relative who loves the UK, or keep one for yourself. Choose the Fleece Throw Blanket or the Sherpa Throw Blanket, depending on the softness you prefer.
