I am looking for a simple/easy turtleneck sweater pattern to use to knit my very first sweater EVER!!! I have knit tons of ‘flat’ things - afghans, baby blankets, lap robes, dishcloths…you name it!!! But have never knit something for someone to wear.
I found this pattern online and am wondering if it would be called “simple or easy” for a first attempt at a sweater?!?!?!?
Please let me know what you think AND/OR other suggestions!
It shouldn’t be too difficult. You work 4 pieces, then sew them together. The only thing with that type of construction is you have to rely on measuring the pieces to see if it fits as you can’t try it on until you’re finished.
Top down raglans can be tried on as you go and you can adjust them to fit.
I have this book http://www.patonsyarns.com/patternbook.php?PBS=500837 and think it has good, simple, straightforward patterns in it. The cover is a vest, but it gives options for 3 different necklines (v-neck, crew-neck, turtleneck, cowlneck) and different sleeves (none, regular, bell-shaped). The pattern you found originally is good, too.
