How to Crochet the Layered Brick Stitch Photo Tutotial
You will love the texture and clean lines in this interesting Layered Brick Crochet Stitch pattern!
The Layered Brick Crochet Stitch is a wonderful stitch pattern with lots of texture and opportunity for using multiple colours.
All of the texture can be found on the front of the fabric. The pattern is worked as a solid piece so it would be an excellent candidate for a larger, cozy project such as a crochet afghan.
It is a longer repeat for the pattern, but don’t let that deter you. The pattern is still fairly easy to catch onto and you will love the end result.
