My diy inspiration from their new MV "One-Shot". Really loving the whole black and white concept (considering i'm super into the black on black right now). First Yong Guk's collar caught my attention and i noticed a lot of different variations of the collar. So with this tutorial you can create all three. Without much ado here's the tutorial.

*extra notes
Measure your neck first. Figure out the measurements to A, C and F.
D and E will not be part of the pattern but it is there to guide you to create the trapezoid shape.
Choose a stiffer fabric like a cotton linen.
Seam Allowance is half and inch unless otherwise stated.
Cut out the pattern from the fabric. Sew the trapezoid right sides together leaving side C open *sew half an inch from side C from both sides.
trim the seam allowance to 1/4 of an inch and turn inside out.
Fold the rectangle piece in half length wise and sew the two shorter sides *also sewing half an inch from the opened side
Fine the midpoint of the two pieces length wise and cut a notch
place the right side of side C to the open side of the rectangular piece and match up the notches.
SEW ONLY ONE OF EACH SIDE TOGETHER. BOTH YOUR PIECES SHOULD STILL HAVE OPENINGS.
fold unfinished side over and fold in 1/2 in of seam allowance.
fold unfinished side over and fold in 1/2 in of seam allowance.
basic collar is DONE!
if you noticed there's no fastener for the collar. that's up to you. you can do the classic button and button-hole, or you can do snaps, or eye and hook. so many options!
