Crochet Baby Accessories in King Cole Vogue & Bamboo Cotton – Pattern 9039

This downloadable PDF crochet pattern (Leaflet 9039) from King Cole presents a charming collection of handmade baby accessories designed for beginners. The pattern covers three distinct projects — baby booties, a vibrant blanket, and triangular granny bunting — all worked in King Cole Vogue DK and King Cole Bamboo Cotton DK yarns using a 4mm crochet hook. Each project is approachable for those new to crochet, making this an ideal pattern for crafters looking to create beautiful, handmade gifts for newborns and young babies.

Please note: King Cole donates to the Pink Ribbon Foundation with every pattern purchase.

Project 1: Baby Booties

The pattern includes a pair of baby booties sized for 0–6 months, worked in King Cole Vogue DK in Cotton Candy using a 4mm crochet hook. The booties are constructed in the round using a continuous spiral method, beginning with a foundation chain and building outward to create the sole, then shaping the upper.

Techniques and Construction

• Begins with a foundation chain of 9 stitches, with work starting in the 2nd chain from the hook
• Uses a 180-degree turn technique to work into the free back loops of the foundation chain, creating an oval sole shape
• Worked in continuous spiral rounds — stitches are not joined at the end of each round, and the last stitch is marked to track progress
• Increases are placed strategically at each end of the oval to shape the sole correctly
• The pattern instructs to make 2 booties

Stitches Used

• Double crochet (dc) — the primary stitch used throughout the bootie
• Increase (inc) — working two stitches into the same stitch to shape the sole
• Slip stitch (ss)
• Chain (ch)

Materials

• King Cole Vogue DK – Cotton Candy, approximately 50 grams
• 4mm crochet hook

Project 2: Vibrant Blanket

The Vibrant Blanket is a colourful, granny-circle-style crochet blanket made up of individual circular motifs worked in 7 different shades. Each circle is constructed in two parts — a coloured inner circle and a white outer border — and the finished motifs are joined together to create a bright, eye-catching baby blanket. This project is a wonderful introduction to working in the round and multi-colour crochet.

Techniques and Construction

• 6 circles are made in each of the 7 shades, creating a large, vibrant patchwork of colour
• Each circle begins with a magic ring (ch 4, joined with a slip stitch) — a classic foundation for circular crochet motifs
• The inner circle is worked over 3 rounds, with increases on every round to build out the flat disc shape
• Each completed inner circle receives an outer border worked in white King Cole Bamboo Cotton, edging and unifying all the motifs
• The use of back loop only (blo) crochet is referenced in the pattern's abbreviations, adding textural detail where specified
• The tr2tog (treble crochet two together) decrease technique is also included in the pattern's special instructions, used for shaping across the collection's projects

Stitches Used

• Treble crochet (tr) — the main stitch used to build each circular motif
• Chain (ch) — used to begin rounds and create height
