I’ve completed two pieces before, and I’ve been working on a scarf for Tim, but I’m thinking about just taking all the stitches out a starting over because I don’t like how it looks.. I’m tired of just doing straight knit stitches, but I’m not sure if I’m ready for like, do one complicated pattern in the first row, then do something different in the second row, and then something different in the third row, etc. I’m afraid I’ll get super-confused. Also, I have no idea how to read “patterns”, so could you please just tell me in normal words?

Thanks!
