"You'll want to take into consideration where it will be kept," says Murphy. "If it's being stored in a bin, be sure to fold it so the width fits nicely inside, and if on a shelf, so that it's not hanging over the edge." According to Murphy, the best way to fold a blanket is to lay it out on a flat surface, then fold it inward so that you only see the smooth folds instead of the edges. "If you are storing more than one blanket, just be sure to fold them all so they end up the same length and width," she adds.
