    Moorit - Issue 3 Autumn/Winter 2022

    • Finally! A super classy magazine for crocheters!! In Moorit's words "an antidote to the dearth of print publications made especially for crocheters" - gotta love that! (Read more in "The Brand" tab...)

      Moorit is a celebration of our love for crochet... for its innate beauty, for its versatility, and for its suitability to all types of garments and accessories.

      The designs showcase a wide, but in no way exhaustive, range of techniques, including Tunisian, tapestry and intarsia colourwork, front/back posts stitches, and amigurumi.

      Issue 3: Cosmic
      We're taking you on an interstellar mission to discover 10 celestial crochet designs for autumn and winter in our 'Cosmic' issue. Our designers went starry-eyed as they looked upwards for inspiration. The designs explore a variety of astronomical phenomena from binary star systems and gaseous nebulae to the invisible movements of heavenly bodies. You'll find elegant textures and colours that reflect the awesome and sublime beauty of the cosmos. 

      In this issue, Fay Dashper-Hughes runs an experiment, exploring how using yarn unders can radically change the look and feel of crocheted fabric compared to the traditional yarn overs. 

      With designs by... Abbeymade, Alyson Chu, Más Que Crochet Escuela, Deanne Ramsay, Helda Panagary, Jaelithe Virgin-Downey, Liv Steatham, Lori Harrison, Sandra Gutierrez, Sofia Botelho

    • ABOUT US:

      Moorit is an independent crochet magazine based in Scotland and run by Alyson Chu. Launched in 2021, it was imagined as an antidote to the dearth of print publications made especially for crocheters.

      Focussing on wearable, modern garments and accessories made in natural fibres, Moorit is a high-end craft magazine with true indie spirit.

      Being in a country of dramatic landscapes and long dark winter nights, our location encourages us to embrace the warmth of wool. Scotland also serves as a wonderful backdrop and we draw design inspiration from the beautiful textures and colours of the nature and built environment surrounding us.
