Hi!

I am new to knitting sweaters and I was really confused on where to start?

I see on the first chart there is a blue row and I wanted to know if that was where I start???

There are also very empty sides which are the German short rows I believe? But what happens to the extra that I casted on???

If anyone could link some resources or tutorials that could explain this chart it would be greatly appreciated! heart chain sweater pattern
