"The pattern is not very clear. The stripe pattern is different from the directions . Is there supposed to be 2 increases at the center back also? Looking at the poncho it looks like there are more rows of the darker and more of the lighter color. Complete correct directions would be appreciated. Thank you."

"Yes, that is a decrease, slip the next two stitches from left to right, then put the tip of the left hand needle into both stitches and knit them from that position. This used to be done as a knit 2 together through the back of the loop and that is how I still do it. Hope this helps, happy knitting"

"I think you could knit this year using circular needles, unless there's something I'm missing about the pattern. Since there are an uneven number of stitches you'd just have to put one stitch more onto one of the needles. If this isn't possible someone please explain to me why not?"
