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!
