You've found a perfect pattern, great! But, oh no, it's crochet and you only knit. So, can crochet patterns be converted to knitting? The short answer is yes, although there aren’t many resources available. By contrast, several books and websites cover conversion in the opposite direction (knitting to crochet). Either way, the principles are the same: 1) The stitch gauge of your knitted version must match that of the original piece in order for your project to be the correct size. More on that below. 2) Your adaptation will not look nor feel exactly like the original, because hooks and needles produce different fabrics. Think of crochet and knitting as two different "languages". Since a direct translation is not possible for every technique, the project you make will be an interpretation rather than a copy. Before I continue, I must ask: What is your reason for attempting this conversion? Did you try searching for a knitted counterpart of this item but found nothing workable? Very well, then let’s say that this crocheted item is unique, and there is no knitted version of it already out there. Here are the requirements for a successful conversion: For more great projects like this, subscribe to our free email newsletter!

Sand Dunes Tee & Jumper crochet pattern is a versatile pattern that can be made either as a Tee for warmer months, or colder with a nice Cardigan on top (it pairs well with the Sand Dunes Cardigan!), or as a Jumper for the crisp autumn days or winter days by the fire. Make it in a soft yarn and it will be hard to take off. The pattern is easy to follow and works great also for the beginner. It uses only simple stitches and repeats. It can be made down to top worked flat or in the round. You decide what you prefer, the pattern will guide you through both options. Working it in the round means minimal seaming! The pattern is written in six sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL and 2XL) and includes instructions both in cm and in inches. The sizes range from a bust width on 80 cm / 31.5” on XS up to 132 cm / 52” on 2XL. The pattern includes sleeve instructions for a Tee or long sleeved Jumper. For the grey jumper in the pictures the sleeves are just ended a bit sooner to give it a 3/4 sleeve. Yarn used for the Tee is the Lana Gatto Camel Hair and for the Jumper Drops Extrafine Merino. Testers have for example used: Caron Patone, I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby and Lion Brand Jeans Yarn with great results. The most important is the drape on the yarn. So you will want one that has a nice drape to it. An acrylic yarn might not get a good drape on the Tee, but should work fine for the Jumper. Pattern is available in English (US terms) and in Swedish.

Skills/concepts include Cable Cast On, lace knitting, 3-Needle Bind Off, garment assembly, and blocking. Notes From the Designer: When I first saw this lace pattern, I knew I had to create a top with it. This pullover is elegant yet simple. It was designed to allow you to make modifications, if desired, and can be made either as a sleeved or sleeveless version. The name, Panopeia or Πανοπεια, was a Greek sea nymph, the nereid of the sea’s panorama. She could see beyond what was in front of her. Her name means “all-seeing.” Like Panopeia, I hope you see beyond the pattern and explore the possibilities of making this pullover yours. I also hope that you see beyond to a bright future, no matter where you currently are in life. Click the Videos tab to watch a tutorial on how to complete the Cable Cast On and k3pass stitch. The top is knitted from the bottom up in two pieces. The sample top is shown in size Small on a 34” (86.5 cm) bust with 2” (5 cm) of positive ease. Directions are given for a sleeveless (A) and a sleeved (B) top. The sleeves are made by doing a Cable Cast On at the beginning of the Upper Lace Rows instructions. The neckline is a boatneck style. The neck ribbing is continued across the shoulders. Designed by Patricia Liefeld You'll receive a digital file only (instantly downloadable as a PDF) and won't be shipped anything.
