Herringbone curved brick walkway patterns.
Having any sort of brick paving laid will run between 10 and 25 per square foot depending on the type of brick pattern site conditions and other factors.
For a tutorial on construction see this article on building brick patios that tutorial instructs readers to start with a relatively easy hardscape project.
Four outer bricks form a square that encases a half brick to cover 1 square foot.
This lovely curved brick paver walkway is an example of the running bond pattern although it has a different soldier course.
But it requires several cuts along the perimeter.
This zigzag pattern creates a formal look that can be adapted to a slight curve.

Then measure the distance between the 45 degree line and the straightedge and note it.
To gauge the starting point of the pattern mark a 45 degree angle on the corner of one brick.
Luckily most residential walkways do not cover an excessive amount of space meaning that the square footage will be low.
The photos here provide examples.
Then set out nine bricks.
Brick patterns include the basket weave sometimes spelled as one word herringbone and running bond.
Herringbones are usually laid at 45 or 90 degree angles and require precision and patience with measuring and laying the bricks.
Line up the leading corners of the brick with a straightedge.
This is known as the herringbone brick pattern.
