9/17 Pattern setup is a bit of a mess - two sets of written instructions at the same time plus a chart mixed into little itty bits that stop and start. Here is my easier-to-follow version of the yoke instructions:

Row 2, set-up row, RS: {purl to 1st before marker, m1p, k1, slip marker, k1, m1p} repeat {} to last marker, k1, m1p, purl to end.
Row 3, WS: knit the knits, purl the purls.
Repeat these two rows two more times (rows 4-7).
Rows 8-11: work as established but m1k (purl on WS) instead of m1p.

At row 12, begin using the charts. {Purl until 4st remain before marker, slip marker, work final 5st of chart row (starting at the cable crossing); work chart row in full to next marker; slip marker, work first 5st of chart row}; repeat {} section once; purl to end.

At row 16 (16, 16, 16, 20, 20, 20, 20, 24, 24), join to work in the round, and begin to consider round start at marker 1. At the same time (from row 16, all sizes), on even-numbered rounds, work the 2-over-2 cables in front and back panels until they meet in the middle.

With regards to increases: for size 37”, do not work the increases in round 36. Then, for everyone, incorporate increases rounds as per the “All sizes” instructions on page 3. This should get you through the yoke and then the pattern clears up considerably.

I swatched and everything, so I am working the numbers for the 46” size to end up with a 38” finished chest size. Hopefully my math will not betray me! May have to go up a needle size when I begin working in the round, though, as my gauge usually tightens then.

11/24 Finally done!! Instead of making plackets for the collar, I knitted on icord edging along each front, leaving open three spaces for buttons.
