Nec(k)collar

Dad requested a knitted collar for wintry days in Nagpur. I got the perfect colorway - “oxford grey” - for my intellectual old man :)
If I knit this again I will make the front and back panels a little longer and also increase the garter edge.
Mods: 
Picked up 116 sts around the neck instead of 100 which seemed too small. 
Ribbing done k2p2 instead of k1p1… just a personal preference. 
Also used the same size needle (7) for the entire project.
Fit is a bit on the looser side, a good thing I guess because Dad’s definitely bigger than I!
