The Viral Knitting Mending Darning Technique EXPLAINED!

[@amykathleen2]

I love this! It looks so much less annoying and much faster than Swiss darning, which is the technique I learned as a knitter. Here’s a tip: most manufactured sweaters are seamed with a chain stitch in the original yarn! So we can rip out the chain stitch and take the yarn, then sew the seam back again with sewing thread. In most cases, you can iron the yarn to straighten it and make it easier to work with (but don’t iron if the sweater is made of acrylic)!

60 years of knitting and crocheting experience, and now I learn this technique that has never occurred to me! Amazing!

I wish I had seen your video first before fixing the sweater for someone. None of the other videos explained what they were doing, and many times just skipped important steps. That is why I had to watch so many other videos, multiple times, before I even tried. Now I feel more confident to try more mending with this technique. Thank you!

Thank you for this great video where you explain how to do this technique. I've just mended a pair of handknit wool socks this way 😁 These socks knit by my mom will last a while longer now ❤

Hi!
I've been looking for a Pinaform pattern.
This would make my family and friends happy.
With some people weight yo-yo's.
I think it would be great for you to guide us!

Hi. As I usually make my own patterns, I don’t use too many commercial ones. I’d say anyways, that pretty much all of the pinafore patterns are very similar. I wouldn’t be too concerned choosing one of another.

[@sharonwright4479]

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing 😊
