Casted on with 176 Stitches Size 5.

Following some direction from this crafters notes… https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Knit24seven/battersea

Also planning to add some extra increases to give a slightly large hip area.

Modifications: Did not do the extra few rows for the larger size at the start (this made the rest of the patterns off)

Did not complete the additional section for the larger size before separating for the arms.

Made the arm 15 stitches instead of 9. This was done for both the arms and the body.

Added an extra section of the first pattern, decreased a total of 8 stitches in the purl knit purl separation.

Added an extra section of the second pattern.

This put the texture sections to my waist.

Where the markers were for the armholes, started increasing every 3rd round until measured 22 inches.

Then 1.25” of twisted rib to bind off. (Ended with ~250 stitches)

Purl bind off.

POST BLOCKING NOTES:
18 stitches
There is an odd buckling of the material when it goes from the pattern to st.
For Future shirts, could start with a tighter cast on. (with sz5, BUT less stitches.
The lowest pattern could have been tighter, BUT the ST could have been a bit looser and about 2 inches longer.
Arm pits were in a good area. Could make them longer.
