Brick by Brick Blanket Crochet Pattern

I have a huge love for crochet blankets, whether it involves chevrons, gorgeous texture, or fun color patterns, the Brick by Brick Blanket is a blanket that uses simple crochet stitches but it gives it a unique look with the color pattern.

This blanket can be customized in any color combination and made for anyone. You could also use as many colors as you like, I chose to go with three colors.
