GAUGE:
11 sts + 18 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on
WS).
12 sts + 16 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in Mock Granny st. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Martha Stewart 'Coming Home' Poncho: Kid's Sizes Reviewed by Lisa Schrock on 2010-01-30
I converted the pattern to work on a circle needle. It worked great, but with the stretchy yarn, it turned out much bigger than expected. I made the Child large for my 8 year old, and it turned out big enough for me. Then I made the Child small, and it is still a little large for my 8 year old. I may try this again with a less stretchy yarn, like Pound of Love.
