Question
Captain Hook
I've been beating my brains in trying to find a stitch that will convincingly mimic the look of a knitted item.
I tried tunisian, and I absolutely love the way the stitches look, however it's prohibitively impractical on the item I'm trying to create, which is a truly enormous (eight inches wide, five to six feet long) striped scarf crocheted in rounds (an adult-sized Harry Potter scarf.) In fact it probably would have looked quite comical if you could have seen me trying to make it work!
Of course I don't know how to knit, and for various reasons, now is not the time to learn. But, of course, the scarves in the Harry Potter movies are knitted, and I'd like to convincingly replicate that look upon anything but very close inspection.
Does anyone else know of another stitch, that isn't an afghan stitch, that produces a knit-looking pattern?
If not I'll just single crochet with a small hook and trust that no one who knows the difference will admiring my scarf. I'd just really love to be able to be more accurate than that.
Thank you very much!
