Instructions
1
Use a pair of knitting needles to make a gauged sample. Convert your crochet pattern to a knitting pattern by substituting the stitches listed in the following steps.
2
Change the size of needles, if necessary, to achieve the size of gauge needed to complete the pattern.
3
Pencil in the knitting stitches above the crochet stitches. Make a copy of your pattern if you do not wish to write on the original.
4
Cast yarn onto the needles in place of the beginning crochet chain stitch. You will need to use your gauge to get the correct number of stitches.
5
Convert one row of single crochet to one row of knit and one row of purl (k1, p1); or two rows of knit; or two rows of garter stitch
6
Substitute three rows of knitting (or knit one row, purl one row, then knit one row - k1, p1, k1) for one row of half-double crochet.
7
Knit a row of each (k1, p1, k1, p1) for a total of four rows to replace one row of double crochet.
8
Change one row of treble crochet into six rows of stockinette (or knit one row, purl one row, knit one row, purl one row, knit one row, purl one row - k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1).
9
Periodically check the gauge to make sure you are staying in the correct measurement.
