Hello, thanks for sharing. I feel really confused with the direction to Knit this poncho. Will appreciate if you can make it more detailed. After knitting all the first row, will I do the rest in garter stitch starting the edge with k2 and ending with k2? And I also don't understand the row with gradual decreasing to 36? Don't understand that at all. Thanks

If you read the pattern carefully all is explained. After knitting the first row, you also knit the second row, after that it actually states to keep the edge stitches in stocking stitch while using garter stitch on the rest of the row, the third to last row explains how to reduce it to the number of stitches to bind off. I don't like the pattern simply for the stockinette stitch edge stitches, they will curl making it difficult to sew together later. I have done it entirely in garter stitch and it worked well. I've also done it in the round in stockinette stitch without any seams.

I think the instructions are not in detail, meant for beginners, it is very hard and I usually understand things

This pattern is rated "easy" not beginner. I agree with you I don't think a beginner would be able to complete it without assistance, it requires some experience both in working from a pattern reading a pattern. If you are interested in making it, I could write it out for you in a long form, that I'm sure would be suitable for a beginner.

Since this is knit in two pieces, would it be alright to Double the cast-on stitches and knit it in the round?

I can see some problems knitting this in the round unless you're experienced at adjusting patterns. Since part of it is done in garter stitch, you'd have to adjust for that, since knitting in the round automatically makes a stockinette stitch. It might be more workable to knit it in one piece, working back and forth over a circular needle. That way you wouldn't have to make as many changes and you'd only have one seam to sew.
