Please join new ball of yarn not at the edge, but between the garter band and the stockinette for a larger and more invisible weaving-in area, and to keep the edges smooth and consistent.

The poncho can be widened and lengthened; the cast on should be an odd number. After joining across the provisional cast on there will be an odd number for the Garter Eyelet Ridge pattern.
With a great gauge swatch and some simple math this pattern could be knit with other weights of yarn.
