Back before I had to stop doing crochet because of my wrists, I was fascinated by slip-stitch crochet/pjoning. It turns out that if you work it at a much looser gauge, slip stitch crochet is actually fairly stretchy and has good drape, rather like knitting. Use a much bigger hook than you ordinarily would for crochet.
Here is a pair of socks I made with a pjoning hook. I wore them out and loved them. http://ravel.me/gannet/yb8sx
If you’d like to try this kind of crochet, check out Tanja Osswald's patterns, which are much more polished than my socks up there. It looks like knitting at first glance, but it’s mostly slip stitch crochet. https://www.ravelry.com/designers/tanja-osswald
@gannet oh WOW, those designs are gorgeous! I've never seen crochet like that!
@pursuitofnerdiness you can see why I was fascinated (and rather miffed when I had to stop crocheting)!
