Synopsis

Centred on the RAOCK idea, this book encourages you to crochet small items, add a label, and leave them in your local community for someone else to find. It includes a beginner-friendly how-to section that explains stitches and techniques step by step, followed by 25 quick patterns designed to be made in under an hour, from flowers, rainbows, stars and hearts to smiley faces and a sunshine.

You will also find guest designs from crochet designers including Sarah-Jayne Fragola (@BellaCoco), Sarah-Jane Hicks (@flo_and_dot), Natasha Emmerson (@love. indy_) and Alexandra Lund (@nattythread), plus templates and wording ideas for labels and suggestions on where to place your makes. Alongside Olivia’s story and the growth of the UK-based Facebook group, real-life accounts from members capture the reach of the movement; Dieterich won the Creative Book Awards Best New Author category in 2025 for this title.
