GAUGE:

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Vertical-Stripe Poncho: Woman's Version Reviewed by Heidi Kleyn on 2011-01-24
For all you crocheters out there. I just made one like this. (my own pattern) All I did was cast on 70 and crocheted it all with a half double hdc. Color changed when I wanted to. I also used different yarns. I used thicker yarns. I used a K 6.5mm hook. For the neck when you get to the half way point (you will want to make it like a square so you can have a pointy end in front - if you want)all you need to do is when you get to stitch number 25 (start on 26) chain 20 (loosely) for the neck hole and attach with a slip stitch. Then when you turn you keep doing a half double hdc. I am sure you could make this with any stitch you want single, half or double. I hope this helps and is not confusing.
