In the video, Cynthia will demonstrate her “knitted patch” method for repairing socks with holes. 0:34 Tools required: yarn of a similar gauge to work the repair with, wool needle, scissors, double pointed needles one size smaller than needles used to make socks. 1:25 Beginning at the bottom of the hole, Cynthia demos how to “pick up” stitches at the base of the hole. 4:12: Getting yarn ready to knit with (over the patch). Knit and secure the yarn loosely on the other side of the hole. 9:38 Last row of knitting across the hole. When the knitted patch reaches the top of the hole, Cynthia picks up an equivalent number of stitches across the top of the hole, lining them up with the stitches on the dpn and finishes the knitting part of the patch with a row of Kitchener Stitch grafting. 14:25 Cynthia reviews how the patch looks and suggests alternatives for making it neater: picking up stitches on a row below, duplicate stitch below and above the patch. 15:14 Weaving in the ends! This is the tedious part, but important, as it allows you to reinforce the bottom of your sock along the sides of your hole. 17:24 When you weave in your ends on the wrong side, leave a quarter-inch tail sticking out. This will help to keep the tail from appearing on the right side of your sock. Don’t worry, they’ll mat down on the inside of your sock when you wear them. 18:35 Cynthia left two ends not woven in and she pushes those two ends to the right side of the sock in order to demonstrate duplicate stitch. 19:33 Duplicate stitch across top and bottom of sock to improve the look of the patch. This is a completely optional step! River City Yarns http://www.rivercityyarns.com
