How much yarn to knit a collar?I am knitting this pattern and have only got the exact amount of the yarn recommended for the pattern. I have so far knitted the back, a front and a sleeve so can tell that I am going to have about 20g left for the collar and sewing up  That definitely doesn't sound like enough to me - can you get a collar out of 20g?????
I've had the yarn about 2 years as well so no chance of matching dye lots

What about a contrasting collar, or even putting a stripe in it if you are going to run out?

I'm having the same worries with a cardi I'm making, think I will be knitting the sleeves towards the cuff as I reckon I will run out, and 3/4 length sleeves arent too bad.
