Alternative yarn:
If you cannot find this yarn you can always use 2 strings of Aran yarn and you will accomplish the look. I probably prefer this method as it gives you control over the colour changes rather than relying on the original yarn changes.

In fact, I did this for the cuffs, collar and ribbing. I used Aran off white yarn and Aran yellow yarn to unify these 3 points in the design and make the jumper more structured.

Resizing
If you would like to make the cardigan smaller, use less in the foundation chain (reduce by 3).
For a larger poncho, use more in the foundation chain (add 3).
