Lots of Blocks – Lego Crochet Pattern

by

If  you have Lego-crazy kids like I have, you’ll want to make this lively blanket! The free pattern is aptly named and comes complete with a helpful tutorial.

Crochet blocks are a timeless staple in the crafting world, offering endless possibilities for creativity, texture, and design. Whether you’re working on a cozy afghan, a decorative pillow, or even a patchwork sweater, crochet blocks provide the perfect foundation for both beginner and experienced crocheters. The beauty of crocheted blocks lies in their versatility—you can mix and match different styles, experiment with color combinations, and even use them as a stash-busting project to make the most of your leftover yarn.

 

Lego Blanket

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know one thing about me: I’m not a big fan of joining motifs. The endless sewing and fussing with ends? Not my idea of crochet fun. So when I saw this crochet Lego block blanket, I was skeptical—until I realized how cleverly it was put together.

Andrea, the designer behind this vibrant blanket, uses a simple join-as-you-go method that actually enhances the look of the blocks instead of making the seams distracting. And let’s be real—when you’re dealing with bold, bright “Lego” colors, the join shouldn’t get in the way of the fun.

Easy, Fun, and Totally Kid-Approved

This crochet brick blanket pattern is perfect if you’re looking for a creative and colorful gift for kids, Lego fans, or even just to brighten up a playroom. Each block mimics the classic building bricks we all grew up with, and the repetitive block construction makes it a great project to work on in small bursts (or while binge-watching your favorite series).

The best part? You don’t have to be a fan of sewing squares to pull this one off. The construction is beginner-friendly, the color options are endless, and it’s surprisingly satisfying to see the blanket come together one block at a time.

Makes a Great Handmade Gift

Whether you’re crocheting a birthday present, a baby blanket with a twist, or a bold statement piece for a Lego-loving adult, this pattern is a guaranteed hit. Want to get even more creative? Try adding initials, turning it into a pillow, or making a matching tote!

Crocheting bobbles can add a beautiful, textured detail to your projects, but mastering them takes a little practice. Here are some handy tips to make your bobble crochet journey smooth and enjoyable:

A bobble stitch typically involves working several partial double crochet (dc) stitches (or other specified stitches) into the same stitch, leaving the last loop of each on the hook.

Once you’ve completed the required number of partial stitches, yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook to finish the bobble.
Yarn Weight: A smooth yarn helps you see your stitches better. Avoid fuzzy or textured yarns until you’re comfortable with the technique.
Hook Size: Use the recommended hook size for your yarn. A slightly larger hook can make it easier to pull through multiple loops.

Maintain an even tension while making the partial stitches to avoid overly tight or loose bobbles.
If your bobbles don’t “pop,” try crocheting a little more loosely when making the partial stitches.

After completing the stitch, use your finger to gently push the bobble through to the right side of your work, ensuring it sits prominently.
