I tried and tried to knit a sweater for my DH, but I failed! lol. I couldn’t find a pattern that he liked and was with in my skill level (beginner). He asked if he could have a lapghan with a head hole. Yes, those are his real words. lol. Here is his poncho. I used Red Hart yarn. Nothing to fancy but it gets the job done. I had to crochet it instead of knit.
