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.

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!
