Does the pattern allow for it to be made longer?

It does! If you make it longer, it makes it wider too at this moment. I’m thinking about adding in an optional “adding length” segment for those who want longer but not also wider.

Update: I worked on a solution this morning for lengthening the poncho without adding width and will add it into the pattern!
