Question about a circular yoke

Hi everyone.
I have a quick question.
When I crochet a children's sweater with a round yoke, I increase by 12 stitches per round. Is it the same principle for an adult sweater, or do I need to increase more? And how does it work with knitting?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello!

Yes, the principle is the same for an adult sweater when crocheting.

Best regards

I’d like to try crocheting a sweater with a round yoke, too.
Why do you increase 12 stitches per round when crocheting?
When knitting, it’s 4 x 2 = 8 stitches!?
Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to crochet a round yoke?

I’m guessing it has to do with the stretchiness of the fabric.
Crocheted fabric doesn’t stretch the same way as knitted fabric.
