From knitting to crochet pattern

[Tari Nienna]

I am getting on an adventure here and I can use some help. I found the perfect poncho but it is a <a href="http://www.patonsyarns.com/pattern.php?PID=1309&PHPSESSID=3e33180b50b682" target="_new">knitting pattern</a>. I want to convert it into crochet. I will write it down and will be able to share it when I am done, I saw that there was some request for a hooded poncho without answer. I can even send it to Patons.

I am an experienced crocheter so I should be able to do it but I never knitted, I don’t know all the terms (e.i. sockinette) . I already found a few <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_18632_convert-knitting-pattern.html" target="_new">tips</a> on the net but I need more.

 

K2Tog, I thought about using SC2tog, what do you think?

Sl1 and psso what is that?!!<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/ideamaybenot.gif" />

 

That’s it for now but I might be back.

i've never tried anything like this before, although, i think there is a table set up somewhere on the net that has all the instructions, i don't have the link... but you might search for it :computer

Okay k2tog is the same as sc2tog, there you're right on.

 

Sl1 is slipping a stitch from one needle to the other without working into it, don't know what you could do for that one.

 

Psso is where you slip a stitch from the left side to the right without working into it, then work the next stitch on the left needle transfering it to the right needle, then lift the slipped stitch over the stitch you just worked and off the needle.

 

Both are basically decrease techniques. One causes the stitch to lean to the right and the other leans to the left.

 

I hope this helps. If it was me, I would use sc2tog to substitute for both of these. I'm getting ready to do the same thing with a poncho i knitted for my daughter. I have someone wanting to order the same poncho but it takes too long to knit so I'm gonna convert it to crochet for orders.

Thanks Rebecca,

 

I will try that the SC2Tog for the k2tog <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/dance.gif" />

 

What do you think it for the left thinghy, I would use 2sctog and ch1 and for the right, ch1 followed by 2sctog? I think that might do the trick.

Your welcome. If you add a chain after the decrease, you aren't really decreasing are you? I would think it would leave a gap in the row. I would just decrease and go on. Let me know how your's turns out.
