New Patterns on the Block: 18 Color Block Patterns

Legos aren’t the only things you can build with blocks (but don’t worry, we haven’t left those beloved toys out of this collection). Color block patterns are bold, eye-catching, and modern—the perfect way to spice up your crochet afghan patterns, home decor, or personal fashion statements. They use solid colors to create clean, sharp contrasts, often with brilliant jewel tones or striking primary colors. However, if you have fallen in love with this style but want an alternative to the colorful crochet patterns because of your home’s interior design or just for a change of pace, there are so many ways to use this layout. Although color block patterns do look quite stunning in vibrant or bold colors, they work just as well well with softer, more subdued combinations. The contrast in the solid squares is enough to make the patterns stand out, while still using pastels, earth tones, or deep blues and reds.

We all grew up with blocks—I, for one, quite enjoyed plowing through my brother’s towers pretending to be Godzilla (there is a lot of video evidence against me, unfortunately). Color blocks are an exciting trend because they modernize such a basic, universal design. From bags to blankets, these patterns showcase the endless potential for creativity when it comes to color combinations and simple yet powerful designs.
