Trying to avoid snugness at the hips, so I’m adding 6 stitches 10 rows after joining in the round and then every 15 rows for a total of five times (30 stitches added).

Pattern for increases: from beginning of the row, left side fisherman’s rib, sm, k1, first increase, knit to 1 stitch before marker, second increase, k1, sm, center panel fisherman’s rib, sm, k1, third increase, knit to 1 stitch before marker, fourth increase, k1, sm, right side fisherman’s rib, sm, k1, fifth increase, knit to 1 stitch before marker, sixth increase, k1, sm, left side fisherman’s rib to BORM.

Not sure how I’m going to treat the hem, but I don’t think I’m going to do the ribbing.
