Mix and Match MAL – Snorkel and Goggles

September 24, 2026

Please support us by sharing:

Let me tell you about my lifelong relationship with snorkelling. 🤿

It goes like this: I see someone doing it, I think that looks absolutely incredible, I fully intend to have a go, and then somehow — somehow — it never actually happens. Every summer holiday, without fail. The snorkel and goggles remain on the bucket list, mocking me gently from a distance while I paddle about in the shallows like a perfectly respectable adult.

There is something so wonderfully appealing about it though, isn’t there? That idea of dipping below the surface and finding a whole other world going on down there, completely unbothered by whatever is happening up above. Pure, unhurried summer escapism at its finest.

And if I can’t quite get there in real life just yet, I can at least immortalise the dream in crochet — which is honestly a very solid plan B.

This motif was designed as part of the Four Seasons Mix-and-Match MAL — a collaborative event with six designers and 13 compatible mosaic motifs for you to mix, match, and make entirely your own this October. All the details are over on the main event page if you’d like to see the full spellbinding collection.

New to Overlay Mosaic Crochet?

Don’t worry, simply start out by watching this video tutorial which covers the basics, or read the summary below.

- All rows are worked from right to left.

- The yarn colour changes with every row i.e. you ONLY use ONE colour per row – ignore any changes in colour of the chart squares, they simply show what the final design will look like. You will need to fo at the end of every row.

- Every row contains the same number of stitches (st).

- The first and last st in every row is a single crochet (sc).
  - - The first st is indicated by a square with an ‘A’ or ‘B’ in the chart.
  - - The final st is indicated by a square with a ‘+’ in the chart.

- Back loop only sc (BLOsc) are indicated by a square without a ‘X’ in the chart.

- Front loop only double crochet (FLOdc) are indicated by a square with a ‘X’ in the chart.

- All FLOdc are worked into the same-coloured stitch two rows down.

The red lines on the chart indicate the repeating section.

Safety Notices

The following has been added as per the new General Product Safety Regulation update December 2024, from the EU Commission.

Safety Disclaimer for Crochet Patterns

Crocheting blankets, accessories, garments, decor, or other crochet products is a fun and rewarding craft. However, it’s essential to follow every step of the pattern carefully to ensure that the finished product is both functional and safe. Please note that, as with any handmade item, there are inherent risks when recreating these patterns. By following all instructions closely and taking appropriate safety measures, you can minimize potential hazards.

Safety with Young Children, Animals, and Adults

Always use child- and pet-safe materials when creating items for children or pets, particularly for toys, blankets, or any item likely to be chewed, pulled, or handled roughly.
Ensure the final product is properly constructed, with securely fastened joins and woven-in ends, to prevent unravelling or loose threads that could pose a choking or entanglement hazard.
For small embellishments such as buttons or beads, avoid their use on items intended for children under three years old or pets, as these can present choking hazards.

Blanket Safety for Babies

Temperature Regulation: Babies are not as effective at regulating their temperature, and overheating increases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). When creating blankets for babies, consider the yarn’s warmth and breathability to ensure it is suitable for the intended environment.
Safe Sleeping Guidance: Blankets should be tucked no higher than the baby’s shoulders, and their feet should be placed at the end of the crib or bed. This minimizes the risk of the baby’s face becoming covered by loose bedding.
For further advice, refer to the safe sleeping guidelines provided by The Lullaby Trust.

Handling Tools Safely

When working with sharp tools such as scissors, sewing needles, or crochet hooks, handle them carefully and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
Accidental cuts or injuries can occur if tools are not used properly. Always store tools safely when not in use, ensuring they are secured in a suitable storage container or area.

Important Note

By purchasing and using this pattern, you acknowledge that you are responsible for the construction, use, and safety of the completed item. I am not liable for any accidents, injuries, or damages caused by the finished product or the tools used during its creation. This includes, but is not limited to, blankets, accessories, garments, decor items, or other crochet creations, whether for children, adults, or animals.
