This Peter Pan collar is worked flat in one piece. It is constructed with increases, like a sweater yoke is shaped to form shoulders. Once the desired width is achieved, the collar can be finished with either a delicate picot edge or a ruffled edge, and fastened with a button or i-cord ties. The elegant floral button from Casa de Opio adds a charming final touch.
