Try hanging it up wet with weights attatched or un pick the neck a bit to get your head in remove existing fringe and get someone who is a good crocheter to add on some more rows to the desired size. Hey presto a designer poncho!

In my experience it will never go back. I did the same to a lambs wool polo neck recently and it's way too small now. I think we both need to learn to separate our woolens on wash day!

Give it to a smaller person.
