Any tips on a more suitable first project welcome, or any patterns.

I’ve found a pattern that seems simple once I learn how to read the pattern itself, ha

    For reference, the green rectangle is all I’d knitted before attempting the jumper (can’t find a photo of it on its own!) so if you’ve done a whole project you’re ahead of where I was.

    It’s completely up to you and what you feel ready for. Absolutely wasn’t my intention to put you off, it’s just good to have realistic expectations about where your skills are at. And if you decide a whole jumper isn’t for you yet, that’s totally fine, but if you decide it is we will totally be here to cheer you on.

    Maybe you can share the pattern you’re looking at and we can advise on suitability from there?

      I’ve found a few patterns but I don’t know what I’m looking at so I haven’t saved them.

      I think a decent order might be:

      • make a scarf/a square trying out a few different stitches

      • try increasing/decreasing

      • then try a sweater and learn from mistakes?
