Netflix Tudum Blanket

Those film production company intros can be real works of art, and every time I saw the Netflix one I thought to myself, there is a blanket in there somewhere, they already did all the hard work for me placing the colours. 

It is made up of an N coming towards you disintegrating into coloured lines.

(There are videos on YouTube on it if you don’t subscribe to Netflix). Finally after a visit to Dubrovnik all the pieces of the puzzle came together and I sat myself down and decided which screenshot of the intro would become my personal Tudum blanket. Keeping the stitches simple but letting the colours speak for themselves has turned this blanket into a stunning one! And here it is! I hope you like the concept!

Don't forget to watch the video tutorial here. This will, together with these written instructions help you to crochet this Tudum Blanket.

Needed 

Yarn 

I used 18 Balls of Stylecraft Special DK in the Netflix Tudum Blanket Pack

Hook 

I use a 3.5 for DK, the yarn states a 4. Use the hook you usually use for DK.

Scissors 

Stitch markers 

Darning needle 

Preparation 

There is a lot of black, so ensure you have sufficient light when working with a dark colour. 

Multiples 

 6 + 1

Measurements 

Length     177 cm /  70  inch

Method 

Blanket body  

Please note 

CH1 doesn’t count as a stitch it is merely your turning ch.

Check the colour table to see which colour you are using for which row and which stitch you are doing. 

Row 0         SK, CH193

These are the possible rows you will have to do

DC

CH1, turn, 1DC in each st to end. (193)

HDC

CH1, turn, 1HDC in each st to end. (193)

SC

CH1, turn, 1SC in each st to end.  (193) 

BOXES 

CH1, turn, 1DC in first st, *CH1, sk1, 1DC in next st*, repeat *-*  to end. (96 boxes) 

POPCORN 

CH1, turn, *1DC in first st, CH1, sk1, 1DC in next st, CH1, sk1, 4DCPOP  in next st, CH1, sk 1*, repeat *-* to end finishing in 1DC in the last st. (32 popcorns)

Tips 

When changing colour, do it on the last pull through of the last stitch of the row before. 

You will not be changing colour on each row, check your table!

When placing stitches onto a row with boxes, place one into the first st, then 2 DCs around each CHSP until the last box where you only place 1DC. You end the row with 1DC on the last st. (193) Make sure you have the correct sts again after completing this type of row.

The same applies when doing this after a Popcorn row. Ignore the popcorns and just use the boxes.
