I've had mine since I was in single digits (so a few decades now too), took it with me when I moved out of my mom's. Thanks anyway!
Reverse image search for the blanket got me this reddit post from three years ago searching for the exact same blanket (nobody could help): https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFindThis/comments/hm0668/help_me_find_another_blanket_of_this_type_its/
Searching "open weave cotton blanket" found this similar, but slightly different weave blanket on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Linteum-Textile-Supply-Lightweight-Extra-Fluffy/dp/B08GGBHGK6/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2JU1ZPUCPEIGC
ETA: I did more searching (avoiding other tasks, lol) and found that this is called a "cellular weave" and is common in hospital blankets: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cellular+cotton+thermal+hospital+blanket&i=garden&crid=2TPDGGE4LBCG2&sprefix=cellular+cotton+thermal+hospital+blanket%2Cgarden%2C202&ref=nb_sb_noss
This one is closer: https://www.amazon.com/BATTILO-HOME-Blankets-Breathable-Lightweight/dp/B073P7B3DY
But I can only find baby blankets for sale with the exact weave: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1042906135/premium-quality-100-cotton-cellular
