Jessie Abularach pattern from knit to crochet

[Barbwireart56]

Hi!  I recently came across a great crocheting and knitting pattern book by an author called Jessie Abularach. It's her Volume Two--Crocheted Favorites and Originals.  There is a pattern in the book dealing with a knitted toilet tissue cover doll that is very similar to what my grandmother made over 45 years ago.  My problem is that I'm a novice at crocheting and wouldn't know how to change the pattern from knit to crochet and was wondering if anyone has ever done this or has done it with this pattern.  The copyright of the book is 1980 and the pattern is called knitted doll tissue cover.  Anything anyone could suggest would be most appreciated.  Thanks so much!

I've done an afghan pattern - I converted it from knit to crochet.   Found the book on-line and I can see the 'front cover'.   Which one of the covers are you  referring to, the yellow-one with the doll standing in it??

Hi!  Yes--The pretty doll with the yellow hat & outfit.  It looks so simple for an experienced knitter (which I would love to be also) and I'm hoping it would be just as easy if it could be converted.
