Easy (and free) baby sweater for a beginner?

[SevenVeils]

Please spam me! I need all the links I can get. The internet connection is about to get taken away from me any minute and I want to load up a bunch of tabs, and I'd love to be able to start on a sweater for the baby (I need about a size 18 months, if that matters).

Thanks!

It was only the second thing I knitted so it can't be that hard. I did find it quite narrow though so measure carefully before you decide on a size.

I would go with the knitting pure and simple, as it's seamless. I think top-down seamless raglans are the best first sweater patterns, personally. They are so easy, with such nice-looking results.

Thanks! I should have clarified- the internet isn't getting taken away permanently or anything, I guess my first post didn't make much sense. It was just for a while My connection is through a cellphone used as a modem so only one computer, or one person, can be online at a time.

I made this:

last week I think. I liked it a lot, it was easy (not much harder than a scarf, really) and cute, but I had an (ahem) armhole problem. I figure that I'll be making it again but I sort of want to make something different too- you know?

Haiku was on my first list a couple of weeks ago, the instructions and the menu on Knitty say that it's really easy but the actual pattern says tangy... so that scared me a little. The only other problems are that I'd prefer a longer body but I don't know how to accomplish that with this pattern (any advice?); oh, that and I don't understand the gauge thing. It says to knit a swatch then put the number of stitches in the blank.... for some reason I'm missing something there...

It was really really easy. I'm not sure why it would have been listed as tangy. It was my second knitting project and I didn't have any problems with it. For the swatch thing, you knit up a swatch, measure your stitches per inch and put that in the blanks and then just multiply it up to get the stitches.
So if your gauge ended up being 10 stitches per inch the first line of instructions would be:

Cast on gauge__10___ x 9 (12) =__ 90 (120)___ sts.

If you wanted to make it longer you could just add on as many stitches as you wanted to get the length you wanted at the beginning. It would only affect the first line of instructions, the rest of the increases and decreases are on the top end. It would be really easy.
