Is a boat neck sweater a suitable first project if you've only ever knitted scarves before? (lemmy.world)

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

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?

Sounds like a good plan to me! You could maybe look at a cowl rather than a scarf since they're shorter projects, a very quick and cursory Ravelry search turned up this one that's designed to be a sampler of different stitches: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-sampler-cowl

I'm sure there are plenty of similar sampler-style scarf patterns too, though 🙂
