Exeter cowl is a highly textured cowl knitted with two colors of Hampton Fiber Mill 100% wool yarn. The construction is a simple rectangle with the seam placed in an unusual spot. This results in a cowl with a point worn off to the side or in the center. The stitch patterns are much easier than they look, with only a combination of left twist, right twist, knit and purl.
