Boundless Textured Hat & Cowl Set in SweetGeorgia Superwash Six – Pattern Summary

Designed by Angela Tong and published by SweetGeorgia Yarns, the Boundless Textured Hat & Cowl Set is a coordinating knitting pattern that produces two beautifully textured accessories: a fitted knitted hat and a generously sized knitted cowl. Both pieces share the same playful stitch vocabulary and yarn, making them a natural pairing for a cohesive, stylish set. The pattern is available as a downloadable PDF and is rated intermediate in difficulty, making it an excellent project for knitters who are comfortable with basic techniques and ready to explore simple cable and texture work.

About the Two Designs

The Boundless Textured Hat

The hat is worked in the round from the brim upward, resulting in a snug, well-proportioned beanie with a finished circumference of 20 inches / 51 cm (gently stretched) and a height of 9 inches / 23 cm from brim to crown. The brim features a ribbed band that provides a neat, stretchy edge, while the body of the hat is worked in the signature Boundless textured stitch pattern. Crown shaping is achieved through a series of decrease rounds that taper the fabric elegantly to the top.

Because the hat transitions from working in the round on a short circular needle to double-pointed needles as the stitch count decreases toward the crown, knitters will need to be comfortable switching between needle types mid-project. The result is a hat that is both quick to knit and visually interesting, with texture that adds dimension without requiring complex chart reading.

• Finished height: 9 inches / 23 cm from brim to crown

The Boundless Textured Cowl

The cowl is a wider, more generous accessory worked in the round on a longer circular needle. With a finished circumference of 27½ inches / 70 cm and a height of 7¼ inches / 18.5 cm, it sits comfortably around the neck and can be worn loosely draped or doubled up for extra warmth. Like the hat, the cowl features the same Boundless textured stitch pattern throughout its body, creating a unified aesthetic across the set.

The cowl requires slightly more yarn than the hat, making it a satisfying project that uses the chunky weight yarn to its full advantage. The larger circumference means the textured stitches have more room to shine, and the piece knits up quickly thanks to the chunky gauge.

Techniques and Stitches Used

Both the hat and the cowl are knitted entirely in the round (circularly), which means there are no seams to sew and the right side of the fabric always faces the knitter. This is a common and practical approach for accessories like hats and cowls, as it simplifies construction and produces a clean, professional finish.

The Boundless stitch pattern that gives this set its name combines knit and purl stitches with simple cable crossings to create a rich, tactile surface texture. Key stitches and techniques used in this pattern include:

• Ribbing: Used on the brim of the hat to create a stretchy, tidy edge. Ribbing alternates knit and purl stitches in a regular sequence and is a foundational knitting technique that adds elasticity to cast-on edges.
• 2/1 LPC (2 over 1 Left-Purl Cross): A cable technique in which 2 stitches are slipped onto a cable needle and held to the front of the work, 1 stitch is purled
