ABSTRACT:
An article is disclosed which is capable of being configured as a blanket or mat or the like, or as a carrying bag or knapsack. The article is made of a fabric piece having two opposing arcuate fabric channel halves secured to the lower surface thereof, facing each other. The channel halves define a generally circular channel in the center of the fabric piece. Gaps between the opposing ends of the fabric channel halves expose at least one and preferably two separate continuous ropes which pass through the channel. The fabric piece has a generally circular central portion of smaller diameter than the channel, with at least one retaining loop secured near the circumference thereof. A carrying bag may be formed by folding those portions of the fabric piece which are outside the channel upwardly and in towards the center of the fabric piece, thereby exposing the ropes in the gaps, by then pulling the ropes to bunch the fabric channel halves thereon, and by then routing the pulled ropes through at least one retaining loop and tying them to define a carrying loop in the fashion of a shoulder strap. Where two ropes and two retaining loops are provided, a backpack configuration may be produced by securing one rope to each retaining loop, such that one rope goes over one shoulder, and the other rope goes over the other shoulder. Preferably, at least one pocket is provided on the underside of the fabric piece, outside the channels.
