How to mend holes in knitwear

Essential tuition, invisible mending small holes in knitwear, sweater, jumpers, and cardigans with a needle and thread. The trick is to work with the construction of the knitwear to gently pull the raw edges of the hole together, and catch the loops at the same time.

This video SAVED MY LIFE (or at least my 300€ wool sweater!)! I'm a man in my mid 40s with nearly ZERO sewing ability or talent and I was able to successfully repair the moth hole in my favorite sweater. I can't thank you enough!!! I couldn't even find where the hole was when I was finished!😂

I bought this sweater at goodwill and I was able to fix the small hole because of you! Thank you, this video was very helpful and I will forever use your method.

I will never look at knitting, sewing, or embroidery the same way again .... what a skill.

A really clear and easy to follow tutorial. I just mended my first cashmere sweater and feel so empowered. Thank you!

Wow. I had two holes in a grey lambswool sweater, followed your instructions and now can't even find the repairs.
One hole was large - about 1 cm x 1 cm. I can't even find the big repair. The steam shot at the end really made the
difference. Thanks so much!

This is amazing! I'm a guy that doesn't sew / knit at all but was able to fix several of my fav wool and cashmere sweaters I didn't have the heart to throw out! They look like new again. Thank you so much for this!

As a bloke thinking of having a go at mending my own jumper; your brilliant post has given me the confidence to "have a crack" at it. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to film this; great job, well done!

Thanks!! I've added a new skill!! Calculus derivatives, dead reckoning, infection prevention and control, and mending knitwear. BTW, as many commenters stated, this tutorial is extremely clear and easy to replicate. Thanks again.

Thank you for showing how to do this with thread and not some complicated method or product that I don't have!

I watched this earlier today and went on to repair a hole in my husbands new merino wool jumper. He had attempted to cut the label out of the neck as it was scratchy resulting in him cutting a hole in it. Thanks to your wonderful tutorial I managed this and while not quite invisible it’s certainly usable. I now have a huge hole in the armpit of his lambswool jumper to try and rescue 😩. Thank you for your wonderful clear teaching.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I inherited with some wool sweaters from my grandpa that have a few small holes. I was trying to decide whether to keep them for sentimental reasons but now they’ll be wearable again! 🥰

I was so mad because three of my sweaters have been eaten… I’m still mad but after watching your video I think I can deal with it now thank you!

Thank you for the lesson. My husband found a beautiful cashmere sweater for my son. It fit him perfectly but I noticed two small moth holes. I was able to mend it nicely with this technique.

What an amazing tutorial! I've just mended a vintage cardigan that I've recently bought. It had a small moth hole that I didn't spot when I bought it and with this technique you can't even tell where the hole was. Thank you so much for the tutorial ❤

I've watched so many of these tutorials, but yours was hands down the best, thank you!

I just purchased a new with tags sweater from the thrift store. After just washing it, I found a very small hole in the top right shoulder. Thank you so much for this video. I can mend the hole and hopefully have the sweater looking like new in no time. Thanks again!

[zlypy]

Thrifted a beautiful lambs wool sweater and was afraid to mend it because it’s so fine but looks perfect now! thank you!

[chocolatecurls]

Just mended a lot of moth holes, now I can wear my favourite jumper again (finally)! Thank you so much, you are a hero xx
