The Rocketeer Cowl by designer Maxim Cyr is knitted in two mirrored garter-stitch panels. Once both panels are complete, they are seamed at the front and back using a running stitch. To finish, an applied i-cord is worked around both the top and bottom edges of the cowl for a polished, structural look.
