Moorit Crochet Mag
From the publisher:
Issue n.1
The very first issue of 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 1 features three sweaters, a vest, a skirt, a pair of socks, 2 shawls, a hat, a matching cowl and mitten set, and an amigurumi design.
Plus, there’s an embroidered handkerchief project to make and an article about the impact of industrialization on garment fitting.
