Collect equipment and notion needed
Trim the ragged edge carefully not to overdo it and enlarge the hole
Using a darning needle and matching colour of thread, work from the wrong side of garment. Start working along the length of garment
Work 10mm from the edge of the hole (into the fabric). Once the edge of the hole is reached catch the free loops to prevent laddering, pass thread through another free loop directly opposite and on from one edge of the hole to the other working in rows to cover the whole hole.
Leave a loop at the end of each row to allow for shrinkage.
Turn the work and work across the opposite direction (wefts). Arrange the threads to go over and under the previous threads (worked along warps) interlacing to cover the hole. Secure the stiches firmly
Store equipment well for future use
Collect the equipment and materials needed to save on time and energy
Shake the sweater to remove loose dirt
Soak for a short time to loosen dirt in cold water
Squeeze out from the soaking water

Squeeze out of water to facilitate quick drying.
Dry flat under the sun to remove moisture and prevent stretching
While slightly damp press with a warm iron to remove creases and prevent stretching. Fold and store
Clean the equipment used and store appropriately
