Holes in knitwear tend to appear out of nowhere! How to sew a hole on a T-shirt quickly and as discreetly as possible - life hack + video.
Small holes are especially “fond” of appearing on cotton rather thin knitwear. Most often we find them on our favorite T-shirts or T-shirts after washing. It would seem a trifle, but the look of the thing is not the same - especially if the hole appeared in a conspicuous place.

How to wash knitwear
You will need:
- a very thin needle - such, for example, are used for beadwork;
- unnecessary kapron stocking or tights of the color as close as possible to the color of your t-shirt;
- needle threader;
- iron.
3 ways to mask holes in knitwear
Work sequence:

1. We pull a thin thread from the stocking.
2. We thread the needle with a needle threader. We don’t tie a knot!
3. We begin to collect the edges of the hole on the knitwear with a needle, catching the loops. We catch a loop from the bottom and top of the hole - and tighten the stitch. We work from the front side of the knitwear. We try not to tighten the fabric very much.
4. Having completed the work, we withdraw the needle to the wrong side. We check to see if there are any missing knit stitches. If necessary, collect them.
5. We fasten the thread with several stitches and cut the thread.
6. We straighten the knitwear and iron the repair place from the inside. A kapron thread will change its shape from temperature and fix the knitted fabric in a straightened form, without tightening.
