throw blanket

Sofa draping cover

A throw blanket is a small, decorative blanket designed to be draped over furniture or wrapped around the shoulders rather than used as bedding.

Throws are typically lighter and smaller than bed blankets, meant for warmth while lounging: She kept a throw blanket on the couch for movie nights.

Often called simply a throw.
