Brick Stitch Afghan FREE Crochet Pattern

A Quick and Simple Blanket Crochet Pattern

The C2C or Corner to Corner blankets are EVERYWERE!  The crochet stitch used for this blanket is a fun one to work and is sort of a mindless project stitch.  Years and years and years ago (20 or more), I learned this stitch as the Brick Stitch.  I've seen it called by other names and I've also seen other stitches called the Brick Stitch.  No matter the name you call it, it still works out the same.  

This blanket is worked from side to side and creates a fun little chevron look when using more than one color.  It's easy to work to the size you want which means you're not limited to just a baby blanket or throw size.  Make it yours!  Have fun with colors and enjoy some crochet time!

    Hey there!  Thank you for joining my blog here at Crafting Friends Designs. Grab your hook, some yarn and get comfy as we crochet some fun, unique and beautiful projects together.  
    I'm Kate and crochet is my passion.  I've been crocheting for 30+ years and as you can see from the selection of designs on my site, blankets are my obsession.  I absolutely love creating something that will wrap my love around friends and family when they're in need of comfort. 
    Having 4 beautiful girls of my own has also inspired many infant, toddler and child size dresses.  They are my biggest cheerleaders and have enjoyed wearing the things I've made them.
