This fun Little Brick Stitch pattern is made using slip stitches and changing colors. It is actually a pretty easy stitch to master which creates a great textured look. Made in 2 colors is resembles bricks, but you could make it in one color as well. The Little Brick Square is part of the Harmony Blanket Blog Hop KAL, and you can find more details HERE. Use this square to create a blanket, or use the stitch pattern to create just about anything you want.
The yarn used in this pattern was provided by Lion Brand Yarn.

Hi. I just stumbled on to this site today. I like this pattern; your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I’m going to try it out on a kitchen towel and reverse the colours for a dish cloth. I’ll just sit down and calculate the stitches I’ll need for the towel, but 6 inch square is OK for the dishcloth. I’m going to gift them to my non-knitting friend as a set for Christmas. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your talent!
