I trimmed all of the ends and tried it on this morning. The fit is good. I also ordered some pewter Celtic Knot buttons for it, as opposed to the crochet buttons called for in the pattern. When I picked up the collar I did not pick up the stitch count indicated in the pattern, but simply picked up evenly along the neck. Then I worked two complete rows in pattern. The first row (which is a wrong side row) I decreased, in pattern, to get the correct number of stitches as called for in the pattern. Then I worked a right side row to get back to the starting point for the short rows, which I worked as called for in the pattern. I picked up the wraps as I came to them on the succeeding row. I bound off knitwise, as there was no indication in the pattern directions to bind off in pattern (as had been given for the sleeves). From the pictures it looked like a knitwise bind off.
