    This is a free crochet pattern for creating the Soft and Stackable Crochet Bricks. This pattern contains photos and a video.


    Do you have toddlers that really want to play with stackable bricks? However, they are just too small to be allowed to?

    Or you are scared they will swallow the pieces? Well, then this pattern is for you.

    This free pattern allows you to create soft and stackable crochet bricks in 3 different sizes.

    And because they are large, you won’t have to worry about them swallowing the pieces.

    They might bite on them, but that is alright! Because you just throw them in the washer and you can reuse them over and over. Wonderful!

    Crochet Stackable Bricks Inspiration

    The pattern for these bricks look like LEGO® bricks, but are NOT LEGO® bricks, as LEGO has a specific design that includes tubes on the inside of the brick.

    This pattern does not have that. But the pattern is inspired by LEGO® Bricks. According to CNN (article HERE), a judge ruled that the LEGO® bricks cannot be trademarked.

    LEGO®is a trademark of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this site.

    If you do not like the poly-fill and prefer these stackable crochet bricks to be even more sturdy, I am working on another version of this pattern that makes it stand up even better. But I do prefer this soft version for babies and toddlers.

    So let me now showing you how to do this awesome free crochet pattern!

    You will need:

    • Caron simply soft in the colors Sage (1 skein), Royal Blue (1 skein), and Red (1 skein)
    • 5.0mm hook
    • scissors
    • tapestry needle
    • Poly-fill

    Gauge:

    1 sc x 2 rows = 1 square inch

    Stitches used:

    • sc – single crochet
    • sc inc – single crochet increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
    • sc in the BLO – single crochet in the back loop only

    Final size:

    Large Brick: 10 x 5 x 4.5 inches

    Medium Brick: 5 x 5 x 4.5 inches

    Small Brick: 3 x 3 x 4.5 inches

    Crochet Stackable Bricks Instructions:

    There are 3 different sizes of bricks: large blue one with 8 studs (bumps), medium green one with 4 studs and a small red one with 1 stud.

    They all have the same height and size of studs. In fact, I designed the pattern such that you can expand the pattern very easily.

    The red crochet stackable bricks have 10 sc in length and width. The green one has 20 sc in length and width, and the blue one has 40 sc in length and 20 sc in width. So if you want bigger ones, just add 10 sc’s plus per extra stud.

    Stud:

    The studs are all the same for each brick. So make the amount needed depending on the brick you are making.

    Make a magic ring, ch 1, and place 8 sc inside the ring and pull tide

    Round 1: 1 sc inc in each st (do not sl st, as these are continues rounds)

    Round 2: *1 sc inc, 1 sc, repeat from * all around

    Round 3: 1 sc in BLO in each st

    Round 4-6: 1 sc in each st, sl st and fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing later

    Sewing your crochet bricks together

    All bricks are sewn together in the same way, just that they have different side panels.

    To show you how to sew them together, I have picture below for the blue crochet brick.

    Studs

    Firstly, sew on all studs in equal distance from each other to one of the top panels.

    Before the stud is completely sewn on add the poly-fill. However, do not stuff it too much as you don’t want it to be too rounded (a stud is flat on top).

    Sewing side panels

    Firstly, fold the side panels in half (parallel to the crochet row lines) so that you see 2 rows on top that are now covered (as seen on the picture below).

    Secondly, sew the panel folded together as seen on the picture. First sew the top part (first picture), then sew one side closed, fill with very small amounts of poly-fill, so it is not bulky but still kind of flat.

    Then, sew closed the other side. The second picture below shows the last side before adding poly-fill and before sewing it together.

    After that, you will sew the side panels to the top panel that does NOT have the studs sewn on.

    Sewing top panel

    Sew the top to the same part where you sewed the folded side panel together (the part that is shown on the first picture ABOVE).

    You want the overhang to stay over hanged because that part will be sewn onto the other top panel later.

    The first picture below shows the top panel on the top and one of the side panels underneath. The second picture shows sewing the two parts together.

    After sewing all the side panels on, it will look like this.

    After sewing all the side panels to the top panel, you will need to sew the side panels together so they make corners.

    When finished sewing together the corners, then it will look like this:

    Finally, the last panel is sewn on which is the top panel with the studs already sewn on.

    Sew the top panel to the top part of the overhang from the top panel below. Before sewing the last side together add some poly-fill so that the top panel is kind of flat.

    Fasten off and weave in all the remaining ends.
