To keep the collar flat, fold the collar edges down from the corner and sew in place.

Now space your buttons evenly along the edge of one of your front pieces. If this sweater is intended for a boy, the buttons should be on the right front piece. If the sweater is for a girl, the buttons will go on the left front piece. You won’t need a button band for buttonholes. The buttons should slide through the stitches on the opposite piece.

You did it! Well done!
