This pattern can be worked with any yarn weight, although I recommend a 10ply gauge. For the intended look, choose a yarn with nice drape, such as an alpaca–wool blend. A drapey fabric will allow the poncho to fall and relax over the shoulders.
Avoid yarns with too much structure or working at a very tight gauge, as these will create a stiffer fabric and won’t achieve the same relaxed shape.
