I have watched at least ten other videos on this topic, many more than once, and still could not figure out the Swiss darn. Before giving up, I decided to try one more tutorial and happened upon yours. It’s the greatest. You are the only person that I am able to follow. Thank you for your slow, calm, and well explained moves. I will always look for your instructions on any topic from now on!
I've done this stitch on my favourite jacket and you would never believe it was repaired if it wasn't for the wool I used being slightly darker. I am revising this stitch as I now have a cardigan where the elbow came through. Again thank you so very much.
Thank you- this is the technique I need. I bought a whole slick book on darning and was so disappointed that it did not include swiss darning! Your video is the best.
I thought i would have to learn to KNIT to match a knit fabric. I love you. Would have loved whomever I found first… & that’s you , babe ! You’ve made an old lady very very happy
Yes I like how she demonstrated needle in and out of straight yarn foundation, showed wrap arounds/turns. It was hard to understand her at times but the steps to the knitting were clearly laid out.
This is fantastic! A much neater way of darning. I loved that you kept repeating the stitch so that I could have time to anticipate the next stitch. Thank you so very much.
I didn't read all the comments, I'm sure someone already mentioned that a lightbulb replaces a darning egg in a pinch. Thank you for your excellent video.
This was perfect, exactly what I needed to finally understand this method. Not too fast nor too slow, clear instructions and filming. Thank you soooooo much!
Spent 8 plus hours repairing a hole that was 8 stitches wide by 9 rows deep -- (a cat with a penchant for knitwear...) and I used this method to get the best look... Thank you thank you...
I was looking for your other mending videos but I can't find them in this channel😢 It seems this is the only one left. This is a great video! Loved that you used a thick contrasting yarn, so it was easy to understand with good zoom, well centered in the camera view and in real time, no distractions, music or unnecessary fillers. Just straight to the point. 👏👏👏👏 thank you thank you thank you! Hope the other videos can be uploaded again. You explain the process very clearly.
this is a wonderful video---I feel very sure about doing this now--and will use this for reference---I liked the repetition--it got to point I knew where the stitches had to be placed.
Thank you for your video. I watched a few videos on how to do Swiss darning but yours is the clearest and simplest to understand. And thanks for using bulkyish yarn. It can be so hard to follow if it's all done in baby weight or sock yarn🙂 I encourage you to make more instructive videos. You are very good at it! So I will hit subscribe and hope I see another soon! Thanks again.
This is just what i need.... i have done some darning of knitting, not great, but this is grrrreat. i reknit soles of favorite slippers. love this tutorial. clear. i would actually sew into the loops left bare, but your knit adds to the spot.
Thank you Maud. I have a pair of socks with a worn but not holey Heel. It is a very large area that is thin and I haven't seen a video for this exact kind of issue. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks mending community
This is super helpful. Thank you! By any chance do you know how one would fix a knit overall strap where the damage extends to the last stitches before the end on the side so vvvvvoooov < like that v= stitches o = hole area. I am worried on line of stitches won't be able to hole the mending.
Thank you so much for this, it's super helpful! I am trying to fix a whole in a color work piece, would it be ok for me to change yarns while doing this?
Would this work on larger holes? The moths got to my husband's beloved alpaca sweater and there is a hole about an inch in diameter that i need to fix.
Some other demos of Swiss Darning use sewing thread for the ladders which is removed after the darn is completed. Do you recommend using the same yarn for the ladders as will be used for the repair and leaving the ladders in when you're done? Thanks!
I like to leave the ladders in for darning, so it helps with the structural integrity a bit. If you want to remove it, I'd do it in a slightly thinner yarn than what your knitting is made of and have a contrasting color for easy removal later on.
В данном случае можно было просто поднять петли и все. Если дырка с разорвана большей площадью, то собрать на спицы и провязать, до соединения и времени меньше и красивей.
Do you do work for people? Like if I send you a sweater would you be able to fix it? Or can I show you a photo and you let me know how much it would be to fix it?
I think your technique is sound and the video’s alright, but it’s not super beginner friendly so i do think folks like me just trying to patch a hole for the first time should know that. I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out how much yarn to use & how to thread the needle
She did a very good job with this project and her voice was quite soothing, but, for me, it is so difficult to actually get a handle on how this is done. Hard to see exactly what is going on as to where the needle is placed. Seems almost arbitrary even though I know she did a good job. Maybe if one were to watch this video several times that would make it easier to know exactly what she is doing to replicate the knitted stitch.

Omigoodness. I have done such ghastly things to so many defenseless socks. The rest of them send their profound gratitude.

What was the book?

This is the best video I've found. Thanks for taking the time to do this, very helpful.

Wow! That was very well done!!! It sure takes patience!!
This is the best method of darning I’ve seen. Neat and barely perceptible. 👍
This is fantastic! A much neater way of darning. I loved that you kept repeating the stitch so that I could have time to anticipate the next stitch. Thank you so very much.
The first method I've seen to close a hole with knit stitches.Kudos for showing the ladders!
I ha no idea something like this could be done. Brilliantly done. Thanks.
I didn't read all the comments, I'm sure someone already mentioned that a lightbulb replaces a darning egg in a pinch.

I like the idea of the ladders. Thank you, I've never seen this done before.
I've watched several Swiss Darning videos and yours was the best! Thank you!
Such a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for your slow show and tell. Finally, I got how it's done! Looking forward to the reinforcement video.

Wonderful technique on how to do Swiss Darning. You have explained it so clearly, one can follow easily.
Swiss Technik 👍👍👍👍. I didn't know how it worked anymore. I looked for this technique but didn't find it until this video came up.
Many Thanks
Love this ...wish I'd seen it couple years ago when I mended a friend's sweater...love this more than the weaving style.
Thank you for being patient in your direction on this project. I'm hoping to learn this skill
You've done a wonderful video and I hope you decide to continue!!!
Thank you for a clear, slow and concise video! 🙏🏼💙
thank you SO much for the commentary. it made a huge difference to my understanding
This was super understandable for a beginner like me to follow! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you so much for being such an excellent teacher. I finally learned how to Swiss darn.❤️
Thank you for your patience with this technique. Very nice repair.
Thank you for this tutorial! I tried this without the vertical bars and was miserably disappointed. Now I see how to do it. yay!
Wonderful technique, beautifully explained and demonstrated. Thank you.
I love this video. It's so clearly demonstrated and i can't wait to try it?
Thank you 🧶 🧵 xxx

This is just what I was looking for; thank you! You explained this wonderfully!
Brilliant! Never seen this done before, thank you so much, seems tricky but worth it for a good jumper :)
This way looks like it would be comfortable for socks .
No bumps protruding . 👍
thanks, very clear. watched a few other videos but couldn't follow, as I am not a knitter, just have some jumpers that need mending. thank you!
Perfect!!! Just what I needed. Please please make one with tiny scale knitting. It would be tremendously helpful =)
I appreciate how you took your time in your instruction. Thank you.

Is there a way of fixing a hole in garter stitch with a similar method?
nice
Super

Barbaro,asi tambien se puede hacer disenos sobre el pullover,hay que practicar no mas...
Wow!

Nice tutorial but it’s pretty impressive that the talking is still too slow even at 1.5 speed
