Knitting prevents time from being wasted and is an activity that is deemed suitable for a woman to do.

Of all the different types of needlework, knitting is one of the most popular.
Knitting is a specific type of needlework that is identified by the process of looped stitches pulled through
one another. Knitting is commonly used to make clothing and accessories such as hats, scarves, sweaters
and gloves, as well as blankets and afgans. Most commercially produced knitted items are made with knitting
machines; their high speed is indispensable for meeting the demands of the world economy.
Knitting has gone through a recent resurgence in popularity as a craft and hobby.

One of the great things about knitting is that you can make a wide variety of items with the same relatively
simple steps. Just select a different type of yarn and a different variation in your stitch, and you can come up
with a very different end product.

The demographics of knitting are changing as well. Knitting used to be the sole preserve of primarily older
women. More and more, however, knitting is becoming popular with younger generations. Indeed, some studies
show that knitting has risen in popularity among the 25 to 35 age group by as much as 150%.

Bolero and shrug patterns for women  

This is the easiest bolero I have ever seen, knit one square and 2 sleeves, sew sleeves at both sides,
exactly in the middle, fold square now, sew/ close both sides, from underarm to bottom and pull on at the bottom.

If you want to use the knit patterns for crochet, you could use the graphs with the same stitch gauge,
and follow your pattern further in cms or inches.

Or how to alter the knit graph:
Let's say your gauge is in double crochets or a crochet stitch of your choice,
24 stitches; stitch gauge and 25 rows; row gauge.

The graph is 24 x 32 , so how to adapt this pattern ?? Very easy;
The amount of stitches are the same.

Divide the total amount of rows by 32 , ( this is the row gauge of the graph )
Write this number down.
Now multiply this number, by your row gauge; 25
That's all. Now you know the amount of rows, you'll need for your pattern.
Length ( rows ) excluding ribbing !!

The decreases of armhole and neck shaping must be altered too, to your row gauge.
Same method;
Divide the armhole shaping rows by 32 and multiply by 25.

Another tip:
In a crochet pattern with single crochets, you can divide most of the time, the number of rows by 2,
to get double crochets, the other way around, from double crochets to single crochets,
multiply the number of rows by 2.
