Does placing a blanket on one's back for warmth during prayer, which necessitates moving one's hands to adjust it, invalidate the prayer?

Placing a pure blanket on one's back during prayer does not invalidate it. As for moving the hands to adjust the blanket, if it is a little movement and not continuous, it does not invalidate the prayer. But if it is a lot of movement and continuous, then it invalidates it.
