My feet are right at the top of most size ranges, which means I am constantly wearing holes in the toes. I have taken to darning the hole - or often sewing over the thinning patch to reinforce it before a hole wears through.
Whenever I see instructions for how to darn they use straight stiches like shown in this article, but I don't feel that having a solid patch in a stretchy fabric works well, so use a netting style stitch instead so it has more give. (when I get some time I might do some pics/a tutorial to show you).
Does anyone else darn their socks (or any other knitwear) and if so what type of stitch do you use?
Looking forward to learning this! Very neat stuff
I have put together a video showing how I do my darning, the post is here if you are interested.
Thanks so much! It's a great tutorial :D
