Possibly a bit of crochet work? (5)
I believe the answer is:
chore
'work?' is the definition.
(chore is a kind of work)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chore that I've seen before include "easy option? Not so!" , "A household or routine task" , "Tedious routine task" , "unwelcome task" , "Stream's murmuring" .)
