* On the other hand, seemingly, according to the Rambam, who holds that the Gemara was restricting the time of the mitzvah, if one were to sleep with a blanket in the morning, the blanket would be obligated in Tzitzit. In fact, the Hagahot Maimoniyot (Tzitzit 3:7) records the Rabbenu Eliyahu MeParis's minhag to put Tzitzit on his blanket. Nonetheless, without explaining, the Bet Yosef 18:2 concludes that widespread minhag was not to put Tzitzit on one's blanket. | * On the other hand, seemingly, according to the Rambam, who holds that the Gemara was restricting the time of the mitzvah, if one were to sleep with a blanket in the morning, the blanket would be obligated in Tzitzit.

* In defense of the minhag, the Darkei Moshe 18:2 cites the Mordechai who states that one is only obligated in Tzitzit for clothing one wears (Levisha) and not for clothes that simply cover one's body (Haalah). The Magen Avraham 18:8 cites those who disagree with the Mordechai but explains that it would suffice to round one of the corners in order to exempt the blanket from Tzitzit. See Aruch HaShulchan 18:8 who rejects the Magen Avraham's proof by differentiating between covering oneself with clothing and blankets which are only used for covering oneself and never worn regularly.</ref> | * In defense of the minhag, the Darkei Moshe 18:2 cites the Mordechai who states that one is only obligated in Tzitzit for clothing one wears (Levisha) and not for clothes that simply cover one's body (Haalah).

# If the majority of a garment's side is open then it must have tzitzit, but if a minority of a garment's side is open then is exempt from tzitzit. If a garment's side is open only half way then it is a safek and therefore one should tie tzitzit on it but there is an issue of the melacha of transferring on Shabbat with that garment. <Ref> S"A, OC, 10:7 </ref> | |||
# One should not make a beracha on a garment that is garment that is open only half way on it's sides. <ref> Halacha Berura 10:16 </ref> | |||
