About This Stitch
This stitch is versatile and can be worked in multiple colours to enhance the brick-like appearance. By changing colours every few rows, you can create a vibrant, modern design that truly stands out. While it may look intricate, the brick stitch follows a simple repeat, making it a great option for beginners who want to practice working with different stitch heights and spacing.
