From Needles to Hook: Complete Guide to Converting Knit Patterns to Crochet is put out by the Needlecraft Shop. It purports to show you the method of changing knit stitches to crochet.
What I like about the book is that it lays the knit pattern next to the crochet pattern and you can choose to work your piece either way.
What I don't like about the book is that, while it says you can use crochet stitches to make something that looks and feels like knitting, the actual texture of the work will NOT feel like knitting. A single crochet stitch is constructed in such a way that it will always be thicker and heavier than a knit or purl stitch.
If you want a similar look, you can come close with these ideas. If you want a similar feel to knit material, learn to knit.
