Even if you don't have any connectors, you can just cut open an Ethernet patch cable, clip and swap the green and orange pairs, and you've got a crossover cable! Only four wires to swap. One time I was in a real bind with no tools and needed one, and was able to do it with nail clippers and scotch tape.
