King Cole Smooth DK Hook Roll & Accessories Set – Crochet Pattern 9033

This King Cole pattern 9033 is a downloadable PDF crochet pattern for a coordinating Hook Roll & Accessories Set, crocheted in King Cole Smooth DK yarn. Designed at an intermediate difficulty level, this practical and stylish set is perfect for crocheters who want to organise their tools in handmade style. The pattern is part of King Cole's commitment to the Pink Ribbon Foundation, with a donation made for every pattern purchased.

What Is Being Made

The set centres around a hook roll — a fabric-style rolled case designed to store crochet hooks neatly — along with a coordinating accessories set. These kinds of organisational makes are ideal for crafters who want a tidy, portable way to carry their tools to classes, craft groups, or on the go. The accessories pieces complement the hook roll to create a cohesive, gift-worthy set.

Yarn and Materials

The pattern is designed specifically for King Cole Smooth DK yarn, a double knit weight yarn. The design uses a Main Colour (MC) and at least one Contrast Colour (CC), allowing crafters to personalise the look with their preferred colour combinations. The recommended hook size is a 3.5mm crochet hook, which is the standard working hook used throughout the pattern unless otherwise stated.

• Yarn: King Cole Smooth DK
• Weight: Double Knit (DK)
• Hook Size: 3.5mm (primary hook throughout)
• Colours: Main Colour (MC) and Contrast Colour (CC)

Tension

Notably, tension is not important for this pattern. This makes it a more relaxed and accessible project for intermediate crocheters, as precise gauge swatching is not required. The finished dimensions of a hook roll are forgiving enough that slight variations in individual tension will not affect the overall usability of the finished item.

Crochet Techniques Used

The pattern employs a range of crochet techniques that give the finished pieces their structure, texture, and decorative detail. Key techniques include:

• Back Loop Only (BLO) – working into the back loop of a stitch only, creating a ridged, textured effect commonly used in bags and organisers to add firmness and visual interest
• Front Loop Only (FLO) – working into the front loop only, which produces a complementary ridge on the opposite side and is often used decoratively or to create fold lines
• Invisible Colour Change – a neat technique where the new yarn colour is introduced as the last yarn over of the preceding stitch, resulting in clean, professional-looking colour transitions without visible joins
• Working in Rounds – construction in the round is indicated by the use of R for both Round and Row, suggesting the pattern switches between flat and circular construction depending on the piece
• Increases and Decreases – shaping is achieved through INC (working two stitches into one stitch) and DEC (reducing two stitches to one), giving the accessories their form

Stitches Used

The pattern draws on a selection of standard and slightly more advanced crochet stitches, making it a satisfying intermediate-level project:

• Chain (Ch) – the foundational stitch used to begin rows, create turning chains, and form decorative elements
• Slip Stitch (SS) – used for joining rounds and finishing edges invisibly
• Double Crochet (DC) – the primary stitch used throughout, creating a dense, firm fabric well suited to a functional item like a hook roll
• Half Treble Crochet (HTRB) – a mid-height stitch that adds a slightly looser, more flexible texture where needed
• Triple Treble Crochet (TRPTRB) – a taller, more advanced stitch that creates dramatic height and is likely used for decorative detailing or structural elements within the accessories
