Crochet instead of Knit

I agree, nagem -- the crochet pattern is a tad large.

Here are the instructions, which were donated to us all by the Aussie crochet designer who came up with them. Erica/Barbara, do feel free to use them on your site if you wish, as she hoped they'd be used by all who need them:

Hi Wildrose,

ch = chain

sc = single crochet 

dc = double crochet 

What you've highlighted means you would do one double crochet in each of the next 14 stitches.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Good luck!
