errata: row 4 in first short row section: p to m, sm, p to turning point of row below, p7 (not k7)…

My goal was to use up the single color skeins of shibui linen from my stash for a summer garment with some positive ease.
I used up 3 full and a half skein of shibui linen in 4 different colores.

The shirt is worked from the bottom up, beginning the seed-stitch hem with smaller needles in rounds. Then change to larger needles and start with short rows to get the oblique line. The short rows are worked flat. After finishing the short row section it´s knitted in rounds again until the split for the first arm hole. From then on it´s worked flat.

This is my first time writing down a pattern and also I´m not a native speaker so please be patient.

if you have any questions or find erratas in the pattern please feel free to contact me!

I got some questions about the size of this pattern:
my size is a european 40/42
the shirt is ment to have some positive ease.
