Deliberately lose light blanket (5)

I believe the answer is:

throw

I believe this is a double definition.

'deliberately lose' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'light blanket' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for throw that I've seen before include "Light cloth cover for furniture" , "Deliberately lose" , "Confuse - cast" , "Project through the air" , "Form (pot) on a wheel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
