I like the simplicity of this poncho pattern. I would be tempted to make it longer, though, so maybe cast on more stitches but keep the number of rows the same for the size I wanted. I would probably also want to close up the boat neck a little, make sure it didn't feel like it was falling off my shoulders.

The pattern doesn't seem as complicated as the finished product looks. Again, I would make it longer so I would have to make some adjustments, but I don't think it would be too hard to do. With the super bulky yarn, it should work up pretty fast and be warm and snuggly!

Can this pattern be converted to crochet? Rosalee
