I own 'Knitting Block by Block' by Nicky Epstein which has 150 patterns in various styles (cables, intarsia etc.), if you could get your hands (library?) on an exemplar it might inspire you... here's the Amazon link.
I want to say Nicky Epstein has a book of knitted squares you can use for inspiration. OF COURSE I would go straight to the library or book store and get one of the Barbara Walker stitch encyclopedias.

There are patterns with photo and possibly even video tutorials. Honestly though, CO and take it one stitch at a time. Maybe doing some squares using a stitchionary or Nicky Epstein's Block by Block which should be at your local library.
Pattern reading is essentially a language learning experience, start with patterns which have stitches you know; ie 2X2 rib, seed stitch, then expand however you wish. Good patterns will have an abbreviations list, check that and decide how much learning you want from a project.
