Cropped Cardigan
This cropped cardigan is a great introduction to cardigan knitting for someone who's never knit one before. Worked in chunky yarn, the cropped shape takes no time to knit up, and the boxy, roomy shape is comfortable to wear when you need just a little cover up.

Cowl Neck Sweater
This is a wonderful sweater for a beginner. The pattern is easy, using two coordinating colors and a stockinette pattern stitch. Shaping is easy and the style can't be beat. The cowl neck style is rather forgiving and looks good on nearly everyone.

Garter Stitch Top
This sweater uses super-simple garter stitch, but it's made a little more interesting with the addition of a checkerboard, two-color pattern. This would be a good first sweater for someone who's comfortable with color, or a good second sweater for those who haven't knitted with color changes.

Three Times Chic Sweater
This versatile pattern can be knitted in any yarn that gives you three stitches per inch. It's even more amazing in that, depending on the yarn, you might find you like what' supposed to be the "inside" better than the "outside" and it works perfectly well finished inside out as well.

Katia Danubio Style V-Neck Pullover
When I first saw this pattern, I said "oooh." The yarn is what makes this pattern so special. It's fuzzy and kind of eyelashy, and it just looks comfortable and warm. The style of the sweater is great, too, with a deep V-neck and a close cut.

Poncho Sweater
The Girl from Auntie brings us the best of both worlds, a sweater with the roomy size of a poncho and closed with a giant button. The bonus with such a huge project is that there's almost no shaping, and it works up very quickly because it's knitted on large needles.
