What started as a hobby with Pratiksha Dholakia and her mother Daksha Buch soon got a lot of attention with family and friends. They were making crochet products with bright coloured threads and intricate weaves.

The duo self-learned everything from YouTube and honed their skills enough to craft various things with a finesse that are now up on sale on their social media accounts, sold under the moniker Hooked Goodies, which basically translates to cutesy goodies crafted thanks to the one primary crochet tool, the hook.

What Makes It Awesome

It’s just the two of them making everything from their home in Vikhroli. They make hair clips (INR 40 for a pair), really pretty earring hoops (INR 199 a pair), and even clutches that range between INR 600 – INR 800. The crochet part of these clutches is executed by the duo, which is then sent to a professional for lining, zips and other final touches. Other small souvenirs from their collection include crochet keychains and mug covers. While the resident of Mumbai will barely be ever interested in anything winter, the duo also makes scarves, caps, baby blankets and baby sets on demand, mixing brightly coloured threads in interesting designs on request. They start at INR 500 and go up to INR 1,500.

One of the novel items on their list is bare sandals – a small crochet bracket that can be worn on the top of your foot to places you’re likely to roam around without footwear (INR 150 – INR 300).

Also, considering Rakhi is almost here, you can check out their crochet rakhis that start at INR 40 and go up to INR 199 depending on customisation and size.

Pratiksha, also an ardent blogger, collates interesting crochet patterns to post on their website for people to come and borrow designs for DIY projects at home, along with other information about tools and patterns. The intention is to keep the art of crochet, much related to the times of grandmothers, alive and kicking.

To place an order, you can reach out to them on their socials. The delivery costs are over and above the product cost, to be borne by the customers. Shipping is free for orders over INR 500.

Pro-Tip

Given it's just the two of them handcrafting each piece, we suggest you get in touch with them immediately for Rakhi orders so they can finish and deliver your order in time.
