The sign for blanket uses slightly bent hands. The thumbs are
underneath the fingers (as if holding onto a blanket). Use a
double movement, (the second movement will be a smaller repeat of
the first movement) as if pulling a blanket up onto your chest. You
will also see this version done with the palms more facing down and
the contact on the chest being done mostly with the index-finger
side of the hands. Some people also hold the dominant hand
above the non-dominant hand. I'm certainly not going to say
that is wrong because so many people do it that way. I'm just going
to say that you need to be careful so as to not sign
SATISFY when you mean "blanket."
(The thumbs are different in SATISFY though. The thumbs are
alongside the fingers, not tucked underneath.)
BLANKET
If that first version doesn't get your message across, you can make
the movement look more obviously like you are pulling a blanket up
onto your chest:
BLANKET (Version 2)
