Can you knit a crochet-style look?

Dear users, dear authors,
you can crochet a knit-look design . Conversely, can you knit a crochet-look design?

Does anyone else have anything to add?

I’ve been knitting for almost 50 years—but it’s not possible for knitted fabric to look like crochet.
At least, I haven’t come across that yet.

I’m only asking this so persistently because there are apparently a lot of people who might be interested in this.

I just searched in both German and English.
Only the opposite version is shown.

Okay, we could come up with a suitable technique.
How about that?

That would be great—I’m tinkering with it here and there.

nice

I once knew a woman who knitted all my amigurumi using my patterns. I have no idea how she did it, and she wouldn’t tell me either. But it seems to work.

Too bad she didn’t want to share that.

I can definitely see that happening. But it would probably involve quite a bit of conversion work. In principle, you can probably knit any crocheted piece. But the pattern will always look “knitted” and not crocheted. At most, with lace patterns, it’s sometimes hard to tell the difference. 

How do you convert that?

I’d have to figure that out… Depending on the pattern, you’ll need to make a gauge swatch. For single crochet stitches, for example, a stitch is about as wide as it is tall. For stockinette stitch, a stitch is about 3/4 as tall as it is wide.
You can then convert this using the rule of three, which you probably learned in math class.

Well, but isn’t knitted fabric much softer and more flexible than crocheted fabric? How can you change that?

That’s true, but you might be able to balance it out a bit by choosing the right material.
But take a look at the Doubleface Loops and shawls from a-mano—they’re available in both knitted and crocheted versions!

So the knitted crochet look is definitely doable.

I wouldn’t put it that way.  In terms of the stitch pattern, it only works so that crocheted pieces look knitted. But knitted pieces won’t look crocheted. 
You can, however, convert sewing patterns, i.e. achieve the same shape .( But that is a lot of work; it’s better to look for a knitting or crochet pattern right away, depending on what kind of needlework you want to do. )

OK
