Hallo Betsy !!!!!
Now what is it you NEED , most of all , a sweater ? a vest !!!
YOU CAN DO ANY THING you want to .
It is iinteresting that you ask about side way knitting ,,,
Could you please take a pencil and a piece of paper ,,, draw a
sweater , now fold the paper at the shoulder and cut it double Open
you have now waht at firts looks like 2 sweaters but in fact you have
Opened the complete sweater ,,, now take one sleve and lay it before
your shortest side near you imagine that you start to knit that
sweater from the CUFF , you knit up and up till the arm pit ,,, here
you add sti for the front and back and you knit them from hem to
shoulder to hem and back ,,,, after some while you will make a hole
for the head ] for starters make a square hole ,,,,,knit till it is
wide enough close the hole and knit till it is all wide enough , now
you cast off both sides and knit the sleeve till the cuff ... that is
that

Why not try a simple cardigan, perhaps a baby/toddler sweater? Most yarn
companies have free patterns on their sites rated by skill level.
Knitting sideways is simply knitting a project from side to side, ie, a
sweater from cuff to cuff instead from bottom up/or top down.

I would recommend a hat so you can learn how to knit in the round. Or, like
someone else suggested, a baby sweater. Both projects will help you learn
skills that you can apply to almost anything later on. Good luck and
welcome to the knitting fold!
