I like this poncho. I am not fond of turtle necks though. I always feel like I am being choked. I may opt to make mine with a shorter one. I noticed the yarn used is discontinued. It is aran weight, so substituting should be easy enough, but I would love to find yarn that has a similar texture to it as Denimstyle. Does anyone have any yarn suggestions?

Has any one had problems to the sizing of Pretty Turtleneck poncho. I have the same yarn and did the pattern in the large size. It would fit a young child. Is it a childs pattern.
