Lego Brick Crochet Scarf

Pin It

I'm sure everyone has those moments when they say something and then instantly regret it.  My sons were not even discussing Lego or crochet when the words "I think I've seen crochet Lego bricks somewhere and you can use them to make blankets and scarves and things", tumbled from my mouth.  My sons eyes lit up, orders were immediately placed for items and I started to panic slightly that perhaps I was in over my head, given my crochet status of only ever so slightly above novice.

To help me along, I found this wonderfully informative video from The Crochet Crowd on how to do Bobble stitch and with a little bit of experimentation, Lego bricks were soon flowing off of my crochet hook.

The pattern that I thought produced the best brick was:

Using 8 ply and a size 4.5 crochet hook, chain 22

Row 1 
Double Crochet (DC) in 4th chain from hook and continue to DC the entire chain. Turn
Row 2
Chain 2.  Half Double (HD) crochet into base of Chain 2 (this counts as one stitch).  HD crochet two more times. Bobble five together. HD 3 times. Repeat bobble and 3 x HD a further 3 times to produce a line which contains 4 bobble stitches in total and finishes with 3 HD stitches. Turn
Row 3
Chain 3.  DC into second stitch in row and continue to DC along entire row. Turn.
Row 4
Repeat row 2
Row 5
Repeat row 3 to finish.

This makes a 4x2 Lego brick, which my sons tell me is "far cooler than any other size", but I think we'll all have to take their word for it!  If you are looking to make a 6x2 lego brick then a fabulous video from All Free Crochet is here

Make enough bricks for scarf to reach desired length (the teen I was making this scarf for is 6ft-ish, so many, many bricks were needed).  To finish off and join,  Single Crochet around the edge of each brick, take two bricks and with right sides facing inwards, Single Crochet together.  Once all blocks are joined, single crochet edge of entire scarf and block for an even finish.

At this point my orders are for a scarf and blanket - I can see I'll be dreaming Lego bricks for the next few weeks at least!

Happy brick building
