How do you change a knit pattern into a crochet pattern?
Could anyone tell me how to change a knit pattern into a crochet pattern. My mom liked the hat I made for my son and now she wants one for herself. It's called a Make-A-Statement-Hat. It uses Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn but its a knit hat. I've been looking for the crochet version but no luck. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

There isn't a direct method to do this but you can use the basic knit pattern to get the shape in crochet. Do you happen to have a link to the pattern instructions or a photo of what it looks like?

If it works once you have a look, I would love to see what you came up with. I have had the same curiosity about translating patterns from knit to crochet.

All you have to do is make it a single crochet instead of knit.

If all of the knit parts mean single crochet then what do all the purl parts mean?

There is no differentiation between knit and purl when it comes to crochet. Its all single crochet.
Kfb is an increase so that would be the equivalent to (2sc in next st)
k2tog is a decrease so that would be the equivalent to (sc dec over next 2 sts)Crochetgal on Etsy - Beautiful yarns, affordable prices
