Notes

I should have bought the Fingering weight version of the pattern. But I didn’t, so I have to re-calculate the yoke, and short rows with my gauge. It isn’t straight forward at all, but I managed with a spreadsheet.

As some of the other knitters suggested, it isn’t necessary to break the yarn when the yoke is complete. You just need to knit past the BOR, slip the stitches to a scrape yarn for the right sleeves as per the pattern says.
When it is time to slip the stitches off to another scrape yarn for the left sleeve, slip the stitches past the BOR as well. You will need to take note on the extra stitches you’ve knitted on the left sleeve. When joining yarn to make the left sleeve, you will need to join the yarn after the stitches you’ve already knitted.

Overall, I like to wear the tee with the V shape at the front. It is flattering with the transition to the darker yarn at the bottom.
