Knit or Crochet--Have it Your Way: 15 Fun Projects with Complete Hook and Needle Instructions for Each [Spiral-bound]

Margaret Hubert (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2009

Identical projects to knit or crochet. Choose one method or try them both.

 

Knitters who don’t know how to crochet often see crochet patterns and wish there was a way to convert them. The same is true for crocheters who don’t know how to knit. Those who know how to do both like to choose one over the other for the inherent “look” that each offers. This book gives them the option, as instructions for each project are given in both knit and crochet.

It's wonderful to have both crochet and knit options. Exactly what I've been looking for.

The Entrelac cap I especially like; the crochet version is lovely.

The projects are simple and the instructions are easy to follow. I just like the idea of having both options for each project. That way I can knit and send my friend the crochet pattern to share (or vice versa). Or, when I get tired or knitting for the day, I can switch to a crochet pattern here. My favorite pattern that I am going to try is the one for the crochet hook/knitting needle case. The pattern offers it in two sizes.
