In the usual OHMYGODIMPENDINGHOLIDAY gift-knittin’ frenzy, I managed to both a) forget to knit button holes and b) screw up on the collar in a number of inexplicable ways. Behold the awesome.

That said: I folded-/sewed- up the busted lower half of the collar - transforming this into a snug, two-button affair - and i-corded a few loops to secure the thing. The end result? Almost looks…intentional. Woo-hoo!

(Seriously, when will I learn to begin my holiday knits in July?)
