What I expected: a tutorial. What I got: a demonstration of skill.

This few min video is a reflection of years of expertise. The ability to judge proper yarn length and tension is what makes it so captivating and appear effortless.

I am a 65 y.o. seamstress/tailor and have done this and yes with patience and practice born of necessity and experiencethis works beautifully. Well done!

This is fantastic! As far as the "fancy needle" goes, you can just use a small crochet hook. But this is also called a latch hook. It's made for hooking rugs.

I don't sew, knit or crochet. I will probably never mend a sweater, yet here I am 6am, coffee and watching YOU, mend a sweater. Fascinating!🤗

*Aside from the fancy needle that I've never seen in my life, the tricky stitches, and complicated loops, this is the simplest hack I've ever seen!* 🤭

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.

I love this so much. I’m 17 and trying to take care of the things that I love. I’ve been raised to throw anything away that’s in anyway torn, worn, or dull. I want to thank you for this video. I’m fixing my favorite turtle neck from 2012 that I got at a thrift store. I wear it so often in the winter that the armpits are worn all the way through. I can’t wait to give it new life. This is something i’m going to teach my children. After this project, i’m going to embroider “boner garage supreme” on a pair of booty shorts. Life is good

How was this done right in front of my eyes-each step with perfect crystal clear filming and yet I still have no idea how she did that.

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! 🙂🙂🙂

I had no idea you could replicate the stitches so seamlessly like this! Amazing!!!

I am a 34 years old straight male. Idk why the algorithm showed me this, but I can not imagine doing this If I tried to do it in every spare time I have for the rest of my life. Kudos to you ladies and your tiny hands.

Высший пилотаж!!! Целую Ваши руки, милая дама! Далеко не у каждой в наш век они золотые. Уважаю за умение самой ремонтировать вещи, а не сплавлять их мамам и бабушкам в надежде починить.

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.

This is amazing! I've been farming holes in socks and sweater elbows forever, but coming across this video totally changes the game. I'm excited to try it and thank you so much for posting.

Как хирург... все чётко, правильно, все действия на столько рассчитаны ... Ловко , залюбовалась, талантище 👍

I don’t need to fix a hole in my jumper , I just like watching how well done this is. Beautiful work

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!

Beautiful repair. This talent used to be much more common in earlier days when people respected their clothes and expected them to last for many years.

I am a seventy year old carpenter,and a hand knitter . Thank you for showing me this technique……absolutely superb work !!! I am going out to buy a small latch hook right away.❤️❤️❤️

Это не просто УДИВИТЕЛЬНО...ЭТО - ИДЕАЛЬНЫЙ и ПРАКТИЧНЫЙ способ залатывания повреждения! У Вас - ОЧЕНЬ УМЕЛЫЕ РУЧКИ! Спасибо Вам ОГРОМНОЕ за показ! Будьте все ЗДОРОВЫ и СЧАСТЛИВЫ!

I just mended two holes in a sweater for my husband by watching this video 😊 thanks for teaching how to do this ❤️

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!

This is not just a skilled repair job but really a wonderful artwork! You made our life more interesting and beautiful! Thank you for sharing it! ❤

That was beautiful. I can't even knit and I'm just sitting here, admiring the skill it took to do this

Holy Moly!! That is Amazing 👏 Thank you for teaching us how to mend a sweater. Just can't get over how clean and perfect that looks/is! 🙂

I love to knit but I have never been able to fix the holes in the bottom of my socks! This is wonderful and I never thought to use a latch hook. I was always told to use a crochet hook or weave it which made it worse. THANKS SO VERY MUCH. I will make pretty moth hole covers now!

My mother had a much smaller tool like yours to mend the ladders in her stockings after the war. Beautiful and elegant way to mend a sweater. Thank you.

На это можно смотреть бесконечно, так красиво. Вы просто большая рукодельница. Спасибо за науку.

This is one of the most informative and beneficial tutorials that I have seen in years. I have honestly lost most of the tips and tricks taught to me by mother having not knitted for years after her passing and for it not really being cool for my generation, growing up. This is one of those types of techniques that my mom would demonstrate effortlessly and leave me in awe of everything she knew how to fix. I so miss her well of knowledge. Thank you for sharing this and for reminding me that I can still draw from her knowledge by seeking out the community that keeps it alive. ❤❤❤

So i just happen to stumble across this video for some reason. That was.. amazing! I draw a lot, especially in small details, and do a lot of electronic repairs that require a ton of dexterity. This.. I can't do this. This is skills to the fullest! It is very mesmerizing and inspiring to watch, though.

Superb work , congrats !! 👍👏That's how my Mother did it . I fixed few holes on my cashmere sweater diferent way, Turned out very well and I am proud of myself , but this is Something else . Bravo !!!

Это какое то волшебство! Половину не поняла, смотрела просто как на руки искусного фокусника. Браво!!

Wow! Saved this to a playlist for my daughter. She is 8 and learning to make her own clothing etc. Thank you for being someone willing to pass on a skill. These are priceless gifts we share with others. You have changed, enhanced, and blessed lives with this. My family is one among countless others.

Incredible! Looks like it was never damaged. I've been repairing my clothing for years. The work I do looks OK but this is quite amazing! Great job.

This deserves a medal! Absolutely brilliant! Just watching it is a joy!

Это профи своего дела. Инженерная работа. Каждая ниточка, каждый стежок расчитан. Браво!!!

No, you're amazing because you can do this. No swearing or shaky hands involved!! 😂 This looks amazing to me. You matched the actual pattern of the sweater. I can't sew. I'm impressed!!

I have tried to mend a sweater before, but the method that I used took a lot longer and was not as accurate, in terms of matching the stitches. This is unquestionably a better method, and I never thought of using embroidery floss to mend a sweater, but it's a great idea. Thank you!

As someone who watches videos, I can definitely say beyond a doubt that this is great.

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! Thanks again. I wonder what else you know that I don’t…off to check your channel. Edit: There is a lot of really great stuff about keeping a person’s expensive sweaters nice and properly fitted as well as maintained. You have yourself a new subscriber.

The level of skill to do this is insane! Such precision! Fantastic 👏👏👏 would love to see it done in the same colour as the jumper to see if it was even noticeable 😱

Mega gut!!!! Endlich ein Beitrag wo das ganze Stopfen gut aussieht. Vielen Dank für die Idee. ❤❤❤❤❤

Потрясающая идея! Благодарю! Действительно очень полезно👌

The first part with the needle seems easy to follow, the rest with that fancy sewing tool looks like borderline magic! That item in use looks simple yet intricate at the same time.

Что-то фантастическое для меня!не каждый такое может сделать,но,тот,кто умеет с этими приборами обращаться-просто гений!

I don't knit much these days, but I recognize this trick from one of my knitting books. I really appreciate the level of skill and technique you used!

Oh my goodness, what did I just watch?!...That's amazing....and that needle 🤯 I've never seen such a thing before 👏🏻👏🏻

That is so amazing! I used to do repairs and alterations for the public. But I taught myself. There were no videos available back then. I never knew how to do this though!! Well done!

I've held on to my favorite sweater, despite a massive hole in the sleeve, for nearly a decade. Now I finally know how to fix it. 🥰❤️ Thank you

This is the most inspiring and daunting prospect! I want to learn this so badly so I can properly care for my things but I fear that without someone to show me in person, I won’t master it!

Blessed with dexterity and skill and using it to full potential. Bless you.

Просто шедеврально, и сам способ и то, как выполнена работа! Как бы у нас сказали:"Комар носа не подточит"!

Wow! I’m just so impressed by your technique. I have one of these hooks in my sewing kit but never knew what it was for. With my luck, if I tried this now, I’d only succeed in unknitting the entire sweater! 😂😂😂😂😂

You are extremely talented! I'm thrilled to have discovered your channel & I cannot wait to try this!

Salutări din România! Mulțumesc mult pentru idee, chiar am câteva pulovere cu mici defecte, voi proceda la fel! Sănătate multă și spor în toate! 😇😍

Золотые пальчики! Ювелирная работа! Спасибо за мастер-класс!

This is nothing short of sheer genius. I wish I'd known about it years ago, Am definitely going to do it from now on. Thanks so much for this.

Wow! That's brilliant. One of the best methods l've seen.

I feel like making holes on purpose, just to have the pleasure of repairing them later! Beautifuly done!

I seriously wish there was a bit more instruction on how you did the crochet part so people like me with zero brain cells dedicated to the understanding of how to sew & crochet, could still follow along fairly easily. (1st half was shown brilliantly, it’s just the crochet follow through section that was a bit difficult to see step-by-step) Other than that, Thank You for teaching dense minded people like myself a new trick that can save millions of shirts, sweaters, etc from ending up in landfills. You’re saving the planet & our wallets!! 👏🏻

Очень аккуратно! Тонкая работа, браво-мастеру!

Wow. I have never seen anything like it, although I have been knitting for 50 years. Bravo.

Ювелирный труд! Очень повезло с такой мастер цен! Спасибо Вам большое, за то что делитесь своими знаниями и умениями!🥰🌺🌸🌷🌺🌸🥰👍👍

Never in 100 years could I do this -- but watching it brings me joy. You're a marvel. Thank you!

Руки золотые! Высший класс! Тут надо ведь прям до миллиметров выверять длину оставляемых слева нитей, чтоб их потом хватило на вывязанные поверх петли! Круто! Не буду ждать дырки - попробую! 👍🤩

I had such a pleasure watching this. ART! Will try today even though I don't have any holes in my knits ))))

The extent of my crochet hook knowledge or sewing is those loom-weave things to make pot holders. That said, I came across this video for no particular reason and it was so informative and relaxing. Subscribing.

This is exquisite! I was looking for a video to mend a hole in a sweater. This is amazing! I don't think I can do this but I truly enjoyed watching the process! TFS!

Потрясающе. Отличный результат, так чисто и аккуратно.

Це явно магія 🤗🤗🤗 Можна дивитися нескінченно на вогонь , на воду і ЯК працює інша людина і зачаровує...У Вас не просто ручки золоті, а таке легке розуміння як кожна ниточка лягає у петельку, як лабіринт у клубку ниток перетворюється у шось таке... тут бац і повне розуміння як воно повинно бути!!! БРАВО Майстрині 🌻🌻🌻🌻👍👍👍🌻🌻🌻💙💛Захоплююсь

What a beautifully simple and practical video, thank you!

I have no interest in knitting or learning how to, but I watched the whole way through and was fascinated. Very impressive work. Bravo!

Браво ! Для меня этот метод -- открытие.

You have amazing crafty hands. It's exquisite. Well done, God bless you.

잠시도 눈을 떼지 않고 전부 시청했어요 정말 멋진 작업이었습니다

No way would I do this for myself. But wow I can see your incredible skill and talent! Very satisfying to watch!

Brilliant! You must be a long time knitter to figure this out. I have crocheted for years and years and never got the hang of knitting. I have a light grey sweater wool sweater I bought at goodwill and is one of my favorite sweaters but the moths like it too. I didn’t pack it away like I should and now more holes, I guess I will be trying your method to fix. Awesome!

Your work is so beautiful it is incredible. It is a wonderful way to repair a hole in a sweater but I could never meet the challenge. But it was amazing to watch your skills. Thank you. Xxx ❤

Thanks so much for this video! I wasn't sure what to do to fix the hole in my alpaca sweater, but FORBID the thought of throwing it away! May not have seamstress skills, but by golly, I'm gonna find a hook needle, some black yarn and repair my beloved sweater! Wear that work of art daily!

Honestly, I've been using that hook needle for a long time as a tool for hair extensions.😂 So now that I actually know what it's meant for, I can pick up an extra knitting skill! Might have to watch this about 20 times to retain it but still! Super handy trick.

Боже, ручки золотые!!! Это ж надо так все продумать и рисунок и технику. Спасибо, за науку!😍🥰

Thank you I repaired a knitted top but it was no where near as lovely as yours. I’m going to redo it your way now. Thank you.

True Master right there. Astonishing that the left loops where just used as holders, as a temporary knitting machine.

This is fantastic! I’ve saved it so I can always refer to it. Anyone who sews will be familiar with the tools. Anyone who doesn’t sew should consider learning. It is one of the most valuable skills you can have in your life. If you sew you can make almost anything your family needs.thank you! I’m your newest subscriber.

Kudos to whoever came up with this. I couldn't have figured it out if my life was dependent on it. And I sew, knit and crochet.

Unbelievable how skilled 😮 me being male and into machining, lots of steel etc. but this, mind blowing!

Боже! Сколько терпения и умения! Восхищаюсь теми людьми, у которых руки растут откуда надо и они могут сделать ЭТО аккуратно!

Раньше в каждом доме был этот волшебный крючок. А оказывается вот какие чудеса он способен делать в умелых руках. Это мастерство нужно передавать из рук в руки,чтобы оно не пропало бесследно.

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us! ♥ I wanted to mend my mom's sweater and you just gave me the skill to do so! 😘

Beautiful. My Nan is a sewing wizard. As another commenter said, this level of skill is born of patience and necessity. Nowadays people throw it away and probably have another ten jumpers. We’re spoilt and ungrateful.

You’re very skilled at this

Захотелось даже без дырки сотворить такое на свитере😉 Красота, вы молодчина🤗💐

This is absolutely amazing! I’m really not sure what it’s going to look like when I give it a try, but I’m excited to give it a go!

The skill and training is just fabulous

This is incredible! I want that pin thingy now 🤩

So beautiful! Thank you for the tip, you’re so neat and precise with your work. Well done

Thank you for this video. Amazing! I don't think even my German-born Grandmother attained this level of skill, although she could knit and crochet. This should be taught in schools.

I don’t have a hole in my sweater but this was very therapeutic!! Thanks

What an amazingly useful little tool the small rug hook is, I have never seen that small but I’d love to own one I can think of so any times it would have come in handy
