Call for Submissions

All aboard! We're taking to the seas for Issue 8 - Spring/Summer 2025. Put yourself aboard a ship (oh, but leave the sea sickness in the real world). Listen to the snap of the sails and the gulls keening overhead. See the glimmer of the sun on the water. Feel the wood of the steering wheel, worn smooth by many hands, and the rough ropes slipping through your palms. Taste the salt in the air. 

And for our nautically themed issue, we invite you to focus on designs that will work for men. As a crochet magazine, Moorit has featured more designs made for women, but crochet is for everyone! For the 'Ahoy There' issue we are imagining garments and accessories made in mens sizes that men and women and anyone else would want to wear. 

Moorit places equal emphasis on garments as accessories, and while our range is geared toward women, gender neutral or menswear designs are being prioritised in this issue. Home decor, blankets and amigurumi are accepted, but we are not specifically seeking these.

Additionally, we are looking for proposals a non-crochet craft project and for 1-2 written essays or articles about crochet, crafts, fibre, or other lifestyle subjects that would interest our readers.
