In your situation I'd be tempted to just rip the pieces down to
eliminate the notches, glue on a new piece and recut the notches.
That would probably be almost as quick as patching and recutting and
would be pretty much undetectable if done right.

They'll show. Depending on grain, you could cut off a strip containing the
boo-boos, glue on a replacement and try again.
Alternatively, glue in thicker pieces, cut notches and you now have a
"design element".

I've uploaded the sketchup diagram to A.B.P.W. This is the plan diagram,
not what actually resulted. The sockets for the top runner dovetails
were cut in the wrong place, and this is what would need to be repaired.
The piece is designed to carry gingerbread houses safely, so is more of a
utility piece than fine furniture, but I'd like it to look as nice as
possible.

The wood is just standard knotty pine. I've got plenty of pieces of the
same thickness (off cuts). The finish will be shellac, unless I have to
put poly on top to protect the shellac. (I don't believe I'll need it.)

Once I rip that piece down, I've got 3/8" of original material left. After
gluing (with Titebond II), will the new piece be as strong or stronger than
the old? I need to attach handles at some point.
I do agree that will be the most invisible fix, but just don't want to see
the whole piece come apart as I make the cut.

It shows up just fine in A.B.P.W for me, but for those who can't see it
here's the picture on my website.

The slot mortises hold the panel in place. The panel was not shown on the
diagram because it was easier to build than to draw.

Cut the patch symmetrically around a knot?

What an open-ended question! Depends on the wood, the location of the
notches, the type of finish you were planning on, whether you want to
use toners or glazes, etc.
Furnish some pictures forthwith!

What type of panel?
Wall panelling?
Inset furniture panel?
Laminated wood?
Cabinet door raised panel?

I cut notches in the wrong place on the top of a panel. I think the best
solution will be to patch it by gluing pieces in the proper place and
cutting the notches again. What can I do to disguise the patch as much as
possible?

It would also help to know if this was a furniture piece or a utility piece.
But by all means, a picture would help.

Sorry to hear of your dilemma. A pic would probably help folks who have

My newsserver doesn't carry binary groups but...
I'd wonder if couldn't simply cut the panel down and then glue a strip
of the same material on and resize the overall panel wouldn't be both
simplest and least obvious repair...

A good joint w/ even white glue is stronger than the wood so yes, it
should be plenty strong enough.

No, pop the knot out and coat it with 30 weight oi...oops, wrong

Cut replacement pieces and put small wedges in to fill gaps, making
sure to align the grain as best you can. If you were really
concerned, I'm sure you'd just replace the panel.
