LEGO themed blankets and pillows: lots of colorful ideas to crochet easily
Crochet allows you to create a myriad of creative and colorful accessories, to be used for decorating the house as in the case of plaids, blankets and pillows. The ideas are truly endless, and for those who love LEGO building bricks, even these can become a source of inspiration for crochet creations.
By making squares to then sew together, as is done with the patchwork style, it is possible to make warm throws to use on the sofa, blankets to keep on the bed or even small ones for the children. And with the same technique it is also possible to create pillow covers. Get inspired by the ideas below:
The simplest, most basic model is the one that involves creating rectangles all of the same size, with eight large peanut-like dots to be arranged in two rows in the center. Calculate the desired length and width for your blankets and make the necessary number of rectangles, but also remember that these will be joined and surrounded by white outlines, which increase the measurements of each side a little.

A similar model, but with slightly different working, is the one that combines "bricks" of different sizes, therefore each with a number of different buttons / studs depending on the size. To create the buttons, in addition to a peanut stitch, you can work circular shapes in the ribbing, so that they give the effect of 3D relief.
You can combine your favorite colors together: traditionally, building bricks have vibrant and saturated colors, but you can also choose completely different palettes. You can also indulge yourself by framing the whole blanket with strips of different colors, or by choosing black as a background color between one brick and another.
The same technique can also be applied to smaller jobs, such as baby blankets or even cushions to use on the sofa or bed.

If you are able to create designs / templates to follow with the various crochet colors, you can also create covers that depict the various, popular LEGO characters.
You could even turn tissue boxes into giant LEGO bricks!
