    This is a beautiful poncho pattern, I so want to make this I’m going back to the store and by the yarn. I see the post before mine and the pattern has been updated and does show the hook sizes now. Crochet Hook:5mm [US H-8] for Child size, 6mm [US J-10] for Adult size.
    I would like mine a little longer so do I just repeat the pattern to the desired length?
    Looking forward to doing this.
    Thank you so much for sharing this free pattern.
