Crochet is a French term derived from the name of an instrument that is in crooked shape like a hook from which the work is done. The crochet hook differs for every different yarn and thread. Crochet artisans don't use pointy needles or machines to do their projects; they use a single crochet hook. Crochet is always done by hand, never by machine. Crochet is one of the arts, which is simple and versatile in form. A fabric product made out of crochet art comes in many ways like a door hanging, splendid throws, an elegant wrap, a cozy scarf, shawls, pillow cover, table mats, bedspreads, toys, fancy bags, purses, and many more. It has also been an enormous part of elegant jewelry and fashionable clothing.

The Industrial Handicrafts and handloom cooperative society Ltd (IHHCSL) is one such cooperative in Goa. It was established on August 14, 1980. Society is a non-profit organization helping women earn from home, providing them a livelihood, and also retaining the Portuguese art of crochet and embroidery alive are the aims of this organization.
