Is a boat neck sweater a suitable first project if you've only ever knitted scarves before? (self.knitting)

Any tips on a more suitable first project welcome, or any patterns.

I've found a pattern that seems simple once I learn how to read the pattern itself, ha

Hmm sounds like I need to do some more research, I naively thought that all knitting patterns were written in a standardised language. I've heard of Ravelry, are there any other sites this recommend. Thanks for your help

@Knitwear they are somewhat standardised, but definitely not to a great degree, especially in the structuring of the pattern. I really recommend the Flax sweater in the tincanknits app as a first sweater.
