Goes into stitches (5)
I believe the answer is:
knits
This clue could be a double definition.
'goes' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'stitches' is the second definition.
(I know this)
'into' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knits that I've seen before include "Works with needles and wool" , "Stitches" , "Purses" , "Unites" .)
