It is time for more LEGO fun! One of my favorite things about LEGO, is their minifigures. They have so much variety! Dwarves, cavemen, soldiers, dancers, musicians, mythological creatures, athletes, and on and on and on. My kids and I collected them for awhile, but, unfortunately, LEGO kept raising the price of their mystery bags so we quit. 🙁 But that’s okay. We have quite a set and have lots of other minifigures from the various sets we’ve purchased over the years.
Block #2 in the LEGO-Inspired Brick Face Family C2C Crochet Baby Afghan is Brick Face Mom. She is feminine and charming with her long eyelashes and painted lips. Brick Face Mom is a perfect partner for Brick Face Dad. I chose to put her on a pink background to underscore the fact that she is female. If you prefer not to endorse societal stereotypes, put her on red or green or even black.
Want to make a larger blanket? Look for the 12-block Brick Faces Afghan pattern at Swish and Stitch Crafts on Etsy.
The 12-block pattern includes ad-free printable PDFs with charts and line-by-line instructions of the 4 blocks in this Brick Face Family C2C Crochet Afghan and 8 ADDITIONAL BLOCKS! Blocks include:

- Daughter/Girl
- Son/Boy
- Mustache Man
- Scared

Stitching all 12 blocks makes an afghan large enough to cover a twin bed with drape on the sides. Or choose just your favorite 9 blocks for a child- or throw-size blanket. So many possibilities!
