Creating knit/crochet patterns from sewing patterns?

Question

Does anyone take regular sewing apparel patterns and convert them to knit/crochet? There's a great tunic sewing pattern I have (and am very familiar with it from a construction perspective) - and I think it would look good in either a knit/crochet. I'm good at increasing/decreasing and stuff, but I'm wondering if there are any tips/tricks I should be aware of before attempting? Thanks.

My mom used to do that with vest and tops of all kinds, she did the pattern the same as to cut it out and sew it, just did it into crochet. I just make my own with no pattern, but to make the crochet pattern as I go, also with shawls.

I turn quilt patterns into crochet patterns, six and eight pointed stars in single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, or afghan stitch.

You never know what you can do until you try it.
