Well, do you have any hints or tips for 33 year old guy who’s grandmother was a seamstress? The crotchet part is simple enough, as well as terminating the stitch. For me the last time I tried this I was trying to do a nice job and was simply unable to get the loop lengths correct. Going off of thirds I was able to get pretty close the first time. If it was for a piece of camping equipment I would have been pleased. But I must have completely started over a dozen times before I made myself stop before I did damage or settled for a poor patch. Any tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

How do you know how long to leave the loops over on the left with my luck I would have them too short or too long it looks like in this video they were just the right size to be woven in and end up disappearing how do you know how much to leave in the loops when you first setting this up?

it's called a latch hook. I hadn't seen it used for this before, but you should be able to find one in any craft store. The one I used to have came in a kit to make a pillow panel. this is a much better use!

[@madamrockford2508]

The 1st tool is a darning needle, the 2nd is a latch hook, commonly used to create latch hook rugs. You can find one at any craft store. The latch hook, BTW, also works great for snagging the hair that's clogging, or trying to clog, the shower drain.

[@scootermom1791]

This is a great tutorial. Some people have commented that they would just go buy another sweater. They are missing the point: people are way too wasteful. If this sweater wasn't mended, it would likely end up in a landfill with millions of other clothes that people just throw away. Mending a sweater to continue wearing it, or to donate it to charity (ie a homeless shelter), saves money and prevents more waste. Plus, new sweaters and clothing cost a fortune! I wish I had known how to do this to save favorite sweaters of mine in the past. I like how you used the blue thread to provide a good contrast, so people like me can follow along to save their own clothing. Thank you for making and posting this video! 🙂🙂🙂

This is absolutely incredible. I’ve been knitting & crocheting for 55 years… and I KNOW the incredible skill it took to make this repair. I consider myself intermediate in skill, but I do not believe I could do this without intensive patience and multiple attempts. I can replace a zipper….but I know to leave it to someone better than me. Similarly, I suspect that I would have to leave this job to younger fingers & clearer eyes. I hope the recipient of this repair appreciates the fine artistic skill required.

@@miciagaming7323 My life has been very full, so I had to fit “crochet/me time” in around the edges. I found what takes me to my zen place. I narrowed my many craft interests to just crochet, and I narrowed that to minimal yarn changes, and I looked for textured patterns that did not snag easily. I steered toward 4-weight yarn to work up quicker than the threaded designs of my youth. And I made pieces I didn’t have to spend much time in sizing. So I made a lot of afghans and gave them away! Except for the one with puffed Angel squares that was auctioned off to make money for breast cancer awareness. That was nice. Just enjoy the ride.

Beautiful work. This reminds me of my Irish uncle who was a bench tailor for 75 years. I had the pleasure of watching him work several times. One time he did a simple job of hemming pants and he was like a human sewing machine. I was astounded at how fast and how precisely he worked. After he was done, I couldn't even see the stitches. He was the last in a family of tailors back to at least the 18th century. Whenever I'm home in Ireland, people don't call me by my surname. I'm known as Robert the Tailor even though I've never done one stitch. That's how strongly we're associated with tailoring.

Brilliant. Obviously years of practice have given you the skill to estimate how much yarn is needed for the loop on the left (that gets drawn from to make the repair stitches), so that it is used up and there is no excess. I look forward to trying this very soon. The appearance is far superior to darning. Thank you so much!

[@eldarion100]

Seeing this and other videos, it looks like they measure it so it's a little longer than the hole is wide. That's why they flip the loop over to the right, even on the first row.

[@daphneraven6745]

Thank you very much for this! As it happens, there’s a hole in my favourite camping sweater. It’s made of really nice quality wool, and gets me through the coldest days in the woods. I was holding off on doing the work on it, because I can’t honestly say that I have confidence that I can do an aesthetically pleasing job with what I remember of the technique that I learned growing up, And my awesome grandmother isn’t around to correct my technique. It’s OK for socks, but a person never wants to make a sweater look worse. Your technique would actually be an invisible repair if done with the same exact yarn. I can hardly wait to give it a shot!

[@Xubono]

The issue with holes in knitted garments is that the row directly under can unravel in the same spot, and then the next row so you get a gaping hole that runs vertically all the way down. Unless one of these loops catches directly below the lower row of the hole, the hole will get longer every time the garment is stretched slightly. This stitching looks awesome, BUT you need to mend the hole first!

[@samkaipops]

Exactly what I was thinking. I saw a similar thing on TikTok but they caught all the loose loops in the process.

[@hikinghaani4213]

yeah, darning is something that exists, but this is not that. Visually very pleasing though.

[@dw3403]

there are glues on the market to stop that. You could even use a thin thread to hold the end in place before glueing.

[@Xubono]

@@dw3403 Agreed. They are unobtrusive and effective ways to minimise further damage. The video isn’t really about *mending* but about disguising the hole. The result is beautiful work - it just needs some initial basic, practical repairs to avoid the hole deteriorating. I admire the craftsmanship in these videos, but not the constant omission of elementary repair work.

[@Nemodog]

You know, I thought the same thing, but if you watch carefully she does catch the stitch above and below with her threaded needle (see at 2:08}. If you are catching the stitches a bit above and a bit below below the hole so that there is a border of sound fabric that holds the mend in place it should work. You are essentially darning it like you would a sock. You want to make sure that you are catching each running chain of knit that is broken as you go using the darning needle that is threaded so that it will secure and work itself into the piece. Is this going to work well on a rayon or a cotton sweater? Probably not, they unravel if you look at them wrong. There are other ways to repair them. This is a technique that lends itself to wool. I think it's worth playing with and could be a cool tool to add to my darning basket.

It's just a latch hook, this could be done with any close sized crochet hook. In fact this latch hook hook keeps getting in the way.
