2. would be alot easier to just use the crochet patterns instead of converting from knit.
3. Like I always say, try an online search. I have seen some individual patterns converted, but not a generic conversion method. I would search for "convert knit crochet", something like that.
4. Here's a website that gives some general hints: http://www.planetshoup.com/easy/tips/convert.shtml But knit stitches do not translate exactly to crochet. They are short stitches, always the same length, whereas crochet stitches are more sculptural and can be any length you'd like. So you will get a comparable item, not an exact copy of the original pattern. If that's what you want, you'll have to learn the other craft! Here is a website that gives a comparison of crochet stitch lengths to number of knit rows equivalent. http://www.ehow.com/how_18632_convert-knitting-pattern.html Hope this helps.
