Can Crochet Patterns Be Converted to Knitting?

You've found a perfect pattern, great! But, oh no, it's crochet and you only knit. So, can crochet patterns be converted to knitting? The short answer is yes, although there aren’t many resources available. By contrast, several books and websites cover conversion in the opposite direction (knitting to crochet). Either way, the principles are the same: 1) The stitch gauge of your knitted version must match that of the original piece in order for your project to be the correct size. More on that below. 2) Your adaptation will not look nor feel exactly like the original, because hooks and needles produce different fabrics. Think of crochet and knitting as two different "languages". Since a direct translation is not possible for every technique, the project you make will be an interpretation rather than a copy. Before I continue, I must ask: What is your reason for attempting this conversion? Did you try searching for a knitted counterpart of this item but found nothing workable?  Very well, then let’s say that this crocheted item is unique, and there is no knitted version of it already out there. Here are the requirements for a successful conversion: For more great projects like this, subscribe to our free email newsletter!
