Slanted Brick Stitch | How to Crochet

This Slanted Brick Stitch crochet pattern features a lot of texture created by a variety of crochet stitches.

The fabric that is created is thick with the texture being all to one side. But I would not let this keep me from using it in some cozy crochet blankets!

I have classified this as an intermediate crochet stitch pattern due to the variety of stitches in it and their placement. You will be working front and back post stitches, working in front of stitches and in behind! This crochet stitch pattern features a lot of variety!

The Materials:

For the Slanted Brick crochet stitch tutorial today a 100% cotton yarn called 24/7 Cotton by Lion Brand in a solid colour.  Along with the yarn I will be using a 5 mm crochet hook. I believe this stitch pattern can be worked however in a variety of yarn weights and fibres, so do not be afraid to mix it up a bit.
