Clean it up by SC around the collar. Fasten off and attach the collar evenly across the cape’s neckline (you have 56 stitches there).
Center it so the collar’s midpoint aligns with the cape’s back.
If you want extra drama, you can block the collar outward or add a light wire/pipe cleaner edging hidden in the stitches to keep the points crisp.
The Red and yellow tie you can use felt, or Simply Crochet it. With embroidery thread in yellow, Chain 11, Sc in the second chain and until the end. Do this for 4 rows back and forth with Sc. Switch the color to Red and do the same thing. Fast off. Attach diagonally across his chest under his coat. Sew it down.
The Count is now finished. Now, if this is for a kid, I recommend crocheting a monocle. Do not use Small or even hard objects if it's for a kid. Always Use Felt, Yarn, or Embroidery Thread.
