Due to lockdowns, people around the world took up crocheting during the Covid19 pandemic. Handsewn masks were all the rage on craft platforms like Etsy. Ghib discovers that in Singapore, some young people have turned this simple hobby into a business and an artform.

Ghib meets Terrix and Angie, who run craft workshop Tiny Rabbit Hole as a couple. He learns that the craft of crochet is shedding its frumpy image as more young people get hooked on it. He also visits an exhibition by Kelly Limerick, a renowned crochet artist in Singapore, marveling at the works of art produced from just a few crochet hooks and balls of yarn.

As he works on creating a pouch for this grandma, Ghib begins to reconnect with own his family history, as his grandparents used to sell knitwear.
