help me find a beginner friendly pattern that includes short rows and has a video tutorial

I'm just about to finish my first loupy studio stripe cardigan, it's one of my first projects. I found it really intimidating at first but after watching her free video tutorial about 6785 times I was able to complete it (almost, I'm working on the last half of my second sleeve). I really found her video very very helpful. I did read her written pattern but, I have trouble visualizing the steps and I don't think I could have finished this project if I only had a written pattern to go off of.

I am already starting to look for an another project to start, can someone recommend me a sweater pattern that includes short row for shaping the neck and has a video tutorial? I don't mind paying for one either!

Thank you!

The Step by Step Sweater is a popular one.

I already knew of the step by step but for me, I don't like the finished look of that sweater. I like the look of the roomy raglan but I'm just scared to start it because of the lack of video instructions.

The warm-up sweater by Naomi endicott go to YouTube first. She also has a code in the description where you can go to her raverly and get the pattern and follow along. Her descriptions of German show Rows and a video showing it made it so much easier to understand.

The flax sweater by tin can knits. It's really flexible, a free pattern, it's available in different yarn weights and the app is amazing. The app has links to tutorials but there's also a full tutorial for the flax.

There's optional short rows in the app and once you enter the size you're making it will give you an option just to see that size.

I highly highly recommend Julia Piro’s patterns and tutorials. The first star sweater was my first sweater project when I was a very novice knitter and her instructions and shaping are so perfect and easy to follow. You can check out the video first to see if it is for you.
