Henley Shirt for Arne & Carlos Knitted Dolls

I made some revisions to one of the shirt patterns in the Arne & Carlos book to come up with this shirt. I typed the pattern up off of my notes from when I made it. ! haven't knit one directly off the typed up pattern so I apologize if there are any errors. Please let me know if you find anything wrong and I'll correct it. Thanks!
