lap robe
Seated person's cover
A lap robe is a small blanket used to cover the legs and lap while seated, especially in a wheelchair, at outdoor events, or historically in open carriages: She tucked the lap robe around her grandmother's knees.
The term persists though the objects are now often called throw blankets.
