Looking for pattern recs to learn colorwork (fair isle) (feddit.cl)

Hello knitters! I have setted myself the goal to learn a new technique every few months. Now that I'm comfortable knitting in the round I'm looking to dip my toes into colorwork and was wondering if you had any recomendations for patterns to introduce me to fair isle. Preferably a small project, as I'd like to work my way into a sweater.

Thanks in advance for any recs, I've already learnt so much from you guys here :)

@kurobita I did my first stranded colorwork on a cowl pattern: "Selbu Cowl" by Inge Skeie (on Ravelry.) Not for new knitters but not that difficult either. Two purple colors of Rauma Finull, rustic fingering weight. I think a colorwork cowl would be easier to do first than mittens or a sweater. // For sweater yoke colorwork patterns I often hear knitting YouTubers recommend going up one needle size on the colorwork than the rest of the body. Good luck.
