What are some unique knitting patterns for teens?

I am a teenager looking for some cute, quirky knitting patterns to knit for myself and friends. Any idea's? *NOTE* I do not knit with Double Pointed Needles because I am still learning. ALSO: I have been knitting thoroughly for almost a year.

1. I suggest you check out yarn manufacturers' websites. They have fun patterns for all ages of knitters. Sites like www.lionbrand.com, www.coatsandclark.com, www.redheart.com. www.patons.com and many others have free patterns and lots of helps and tutorials available. A few of the patterns cost a little bit on some of the sites (Lion and Bernat, I think; maybe others) but most are free. I also suggest you start working with DPNs as soon as possible. They are not hard to use, honest, and it only LOOKS like an angry porcupine attacked your knitting. If you've been knitting for a year, I think DPNs are next for you. Give them a try. I thought they would be impossible to use until I had to use them. A friend needed something that required DPNs. I only picked them up because I love this friend and knew this item was truly needed. It turned out to be a whole lot of drama about nothing. They aren't hard to use at all. Sure, there are some things I do not use them for, but for other things I would now not use anything else.
