Simple but wearable jumper pattern for a beginner

[crosshatching]

Hi all,

Having only ever knitted scarves and mitts, I'd really like to try knitting a simple sweater. Can anyone recommend a nice pattern at all? I would ideally like one colour and not too baggy.

Many thanks in advance for any recommendations. X

Should come up with lots of ideas
Theres a really easy one called Brick

Ignore the last bit - brick is top down which isn’t a technique for beginners!

something like this is a good beginners one

I would go for Flax from Tin Can Knits. There's a full tutorial to support you alongside the pattern https://blog.tincanknits.com/2013/10/25/lets-knit-a-sweater/

I'd look for a chunky wool pattern. Knits up fast and easy to spot mistakes. Kim Hargreaves has lovely designs. Rowan and Wool and the gang have some free patterns. I never use the wool on the pattern, Drops yarn is cheaper and good quality, I buy from wool warehouse.

I've knitted this 3 times as people keep asking for it. Wool and the gang have really good video clips for the techniques. I do it in Drops Paris, loads of colour choices and good value.

These are all brilliant suggestions, thank you everyone xx

I've seen FLAX by tin can knits recommended though I haven't knit it myself
