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

Issue 3 (Autumn/Winter 2022) [pattern details here]
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. Keep warm with a collection of shawls, cowls and jumpers. If you're a fan of shawls, why not go big with Fly Me to the Moon or Nebula. Or maybe something smaller: Star Trails or Leonids. And if cowls are more your thing, Connected Cosmos and Solwind are equally cosy but offer two very different shapes. The issue is also home to three pullover jumpers and Arcus, a light-as-a-feather cardi.
Issue 2 (Spring/Summer 2022) [pattern details here]
This issue is Moorit's first take on the warmer seasons. Their designers looked to the sea for the Issue 2 theme, Clear Waters, to create pieces that feel like a breath of fresh coastal air. Discover 12 patterns inspired by the movement of the ocean, the colours of the seaside, and magical moments on the beach. And with 8 tops to choose from, you'll be sure to find the perfect spring garment to make. Plus, a tasty recipe from Helda Penagary and a feature on The Birlinn Yarn Company by Meg Rodgers.
