Notes

I did not follow the recommendation to do the neckline at the end and regret it a bit as the neck is a bit tight over the head.
All ribbing was k2p2 ribbing.
I added short rows to the back. I only did 2 raglan increase rows.
At sleeve division, stitch counts were: b=71, f=67, sl=41, ua= 7.
I knit the body a total of 11” and included 4 short rows (15 sts into front from side seam, side seam, 12 sts, then 10 sts). I decreased 12 sts (to 140) around. I worked 8 rows of ribbing at the bottom and cast off in pattern (work st and psso), though this is a bit of a tighter CO than I like.
I knit ~5” (26 rows) of the sleeves before working decreases, which were worked every 6th row (8 decrease rows total for a st count of 32). I worked 6 more rows and then 9 rows of k2p2 ribbing. I cast off with a sewn (Kitchener).

The final yoke depth is 11”. The depth from armhole to the bottom is 11”. The sleeve length is 16”. Diameter under the arms is 42”.

I also did not follow the needle size recommendation and should have, as I feel that it is too loose. This would probably have alleviated the stretched out gauge as well.
