Crochet Soft and Stackable Lego Bricks Pattern

When my boys were small, Legos were one of their favorite things to play with. This inspired me to create these giant, soft stackable bricks. If you make enough of these you can even build a fort out of them!

These crochet bricks are made using flat panels to form a square bottom. For the Lego ‘nubs’ on top, you will crochet in the round – almost like you’re crocheting a very tiny hat. Lastly, you’ll sew them all together and stuff them with polyfill.
