I have been searching for a video or directions or something on how to convert a knitted project to crochet. I may have asked here before but I don't remember doing that. I am a really bad knitter but am getting my former crochet skills back and I have seen some things I would love to do but they are knitted. Any ideas on where to look. I know Utube but what would be my search keywords. I have used Utube maybe 2x since I've had a computer so I get lost there very easily. Gonna need hand holding and walking through. Pretty sad but, that's where my Utube skills are. lol
Much love and Peace

Hey,
I didn't even know you could convert a knitting pattern to crochet this way.
This opens many doors if I can do it. There have been many beautiful
Knitting patterns I've wished were crochet over the years. Party time!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

BTW have you tried knooking? I am all thumbs w/ knitting needles and I really like knooking; so far I've been able to do very simple kniting stitches w/ my knooking hook...just thought I would put a bug out there....again....lol

We have searched youtube in the past and I just did again. They have one video on how to convert a crochet pattern into knitting, but not a knitting pattern into crochet. Let us know if you need more help finding info if you need more than the above resources.

And now the questions multiply. First of all what is a knitters grid? And what is knooking? I tried Utube and we just seem to have an issue. i was looking up Tunisian stitches because I only know how to do the TSS one. I got 3 hits and all were about a continental stitch. So, I have soooo many things I have to learn or relearn. I feel like a beginner again. That's ok but I want to learn so much so I can do these items for my kids that will really wow them.
Thank you all for all of your help in advance.
Much Love and Peace

Judi, I will definitely keep everyone up to date if I get to learn this. The ripping out, the redoing all of it.

Karen, I think you ars on the right track with the tunisian crochet. I posted some info on a CAL kim Guzman is having. She knits and crochets, and now can duplicate every knitted such in Tunisian crochet. Even the dropped stitch. She has books, videos, groups, etc. she's a wonderful designer, and there al lot more patterns out there now to chose from..

Rather than do all that redesigning, give it a try, u can duplicate the knitting, do lace, cables, etc.
