Yes, you can create something similar, if you are willing to make gauge swatches and do the resulting calculations. However, there are some characteristics of garments that are intrinsic to the technique used to construct them. Elasticity and drape, for example, will almost always change dramatically when a design made for knitting is crocheted instead. Knitting is generally much more elastic and drapy than crochet.

How to understand crochet patterns?
look at the pattern...... it usually says how much..... i.e.: 5 skeins of yarn As noted above, the pattern generally states how much yarn to use for that pattern. If you are trying to design your own pattern, however, then the process is more complicated. There is no general rule for how much yarn in a pattern, even as to type of pattern, because each is so different. Different scarf patterns, for example, would take different amounts of yarn. Generally speaking, I can probably make a scarf if I have 7 to 10 ounces of yarn. If I am making a hat for a child, I can do it with one 3.5 ounce skein with yarn leftover. For an adult, it depends on the pattern. Sometimes one skein would be enough, sometimes two would be needed. Afghans require more yarn, but amount varies with yarn, hook, and the size of the afghan as well as the pattern. One can take a baby afghan pattern and use chunky yarn to give a larger afghan, but amount of yarn required will be different. If you have a pattern and it gives you the yarn amount in skeins but not ounces, and you want to use a different yarn, then you need to find out how many ounces in that type of yarn, then buy the required ounces in a yarn in the same weight category.

What does purl mean in crochet?
As far as I'm aware, there is no "purl" in crochet, but there is in knitting.Knitting has basically two stitches, a "knit" and a "purl."In a knit stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, by passing through from below. In a purl stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, from above. This creates an effect, where on one side, a knit stitch appears to be knit, and on the other side, the same stitch appears to be purled. This explains why directions for knitting often speak of the "right (or front) side" or the "wrong (or back) side" of a project.Crochet has stitches which are a slip stitch, a chain stitch, a single crochet, a half crochet, a double crochet, a triple crochet, a double treble crochet, and even a triple treble crochet. I have not seen any patterns which call for a larger than triple treble crochet stitch.

Where can you find a tigger knitting or crochet pattern?
Okay, I was able to find a crochet pattern for Tigger, either as a stand alone .pdf for sale (Craftsy website attached), or in the Leisure Arts #3262 (or # ) book: "Disney Pooh & Friends." You can see if that might be available in your library, or look online to purchase the book. Finding a knit pattern was much harder. It appears that at one time, there was a knit kit, from Designer Stitches I did find a Tigger Illusion Afghan pattern for free (photo on Ravelry link, and pattern on Tigger Illusion link), which appears to be the only thing I could find as far as a knitting pattern
