Overlay Mosaic Crochet CAL (Crochet ALong)

The price displayed already includes a 25% introductory discount. This will remain valid until the end of August, UK time.
From 1st September the price will increase to GBP 7.95

Please note, you will not get the entire pattern all at once.
The pattern has been split into 7 parts, which will be added to your Ravelry library weekly, starting 8th August 2025.
In addition, there is an Introduction file containing yarn information, abbreviations and the gauge swatch, which I strongly recommend you read carefully before you begin.
To ensure that you get all parts without any issues, please ensure you are logged in on Ravelry before you purchase the pattern.

Inspired by the wildlife around river banks, ponds and lakes, Waterside is a 7-part CAL, worked using overlay mosaic crochet, and finished off with a narrow but pretty envelope border to hide the loose ends.

If you are unfamiliar with mosaic crochet, or the envelope border, don’t worry, they are much easier to do than they look, and step by step instructions are given.
You will only be using 1 colour for each row.

Each part of the CAL will include a clear, marked chart, full written instructions, and lots of supporting photos.

The design mainly uses the basic mosaic crochet stitches (US sc in BLO and dc in FLO), but I have also included a few new special stitches to make selected parts a little more prominent (the duck bills, and rowing boats under the bridge) … don’t worry though, these are explained in detail, and video tutorials will also be available from my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/RosinaCrochets, as the relevant part is released.
Note: I have used the same gauge swatch design as Fairy Dust, and the video for that is already available.

The pattern is written for a single size (approximately 88 x 118 cm), and yarn packs are available for this size (links to some stockists are at the end of this listing).

The pattern also includes additional information to enable you to easily make a different size (just start with a multiple of 48 + 6 chains).
You can also adjust the length of your project by repeating your favourite parts, or skipping others.

The 48-stitch repeat also makes Waterside easy to combine with many of my other mosaic crochet designs, including Fairy Dust, Flora’s Fauna, Letitia’s Garden, Spring Into Easter and Beside the Seaside.

For those of you wanting to make a larger blanket, Jane Reid made a beautiful 197-st wide version, incorporating the gauge swatch, and a row of daisies and the border from Fairy Dust.
There is no yarn pack for this, but I have included instructions in a bonus file.
Please note to make Jane’s combo blanket you will need to have purchased Fairy Dust separately.

Lefthander-friendly
As all parts are symmetrical, there are no additional charts or instructions for lefthanders, but there will be lefthanded versions of all videos.

Each part will be available to download from your Ravelry library by 11am, UK time on the following dates:

Introduction - available now
Part 1 – Friday, 8th August 2025
Part 2 – Friday, 15th August 2025
Part 3 – Friday, 22nd August 2025
Part 4 – Friday, 29th August 2025
Part 5 – Friday, 5th September 2025
Part 6 – Friday, 12th September 2025
Part 7 – Friday, 19th September 2025

When the CAL is finished, I will remove the files for all of the separate CAL parts, and replace them with the complete pattern in a single file.

For those of you that can’t wait for each part to be released, the complete pattern will also be available from my Etsy and Love Crafts stores from 8th August 2025, but this will not be discounted.

To simplify the abbreviations, and avoid the need for separate UK and US versions, the pattern is written in my ’Universal’ terms (I developed these terms for the Jacquard Temperature Blanket and have also used them in all my subsequent overlay mosaic crochet CALs and patterns).

If you want to find out more about my Universal terms, please see this short video https://youtu.be/IsubXOfEuVw

Dutch translations will also be provided, courtesy of my dear friend, Caroline Tigchelaar.
