Form of needlework one may get hooked on? (7)

I believe the answer is:

crochet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'form of needlework' is the definition.
'crochet' can be an answer for 'needlework' (crochet is a kind of needlework). I am unsure of the 'form of' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crochet that I've seen before include "piece of handiwork" , "Type of needlework" , "working with hook and loops" , "Decorative work using loops" , "In music, a note equal to half a minim" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
