Knitted fabric refers to what we commonly call hand-knitted sweaters, woolen garments, ready-to-wear, etc. This type of fabric is made by looping yarns and belongs to weft knitting. Therefore, knitted fabric can also experience dropped stitches due to yarn loops breaking, causing holes in the fabric. When holes appear, they should be repaired promptly to prevent further dropped stitches and enlargement of the holes. Most knitted fabrics are primarily plain knit, so the following mainly introduces the plain knit repair method for knitted fabric. Additionally, due to the need for seam closure in repairs, the knitting seam method is introduced first, followed by small hole repair and large hole repair methods for knitted fabric.
1. Knitted Fabric Seam Methods
There are many methods for seaming knitted fabric, including sewing needle seaming, knitting needle seaming, and crochet seaming. In repairs, different methods can be chosen according to specific needs.
1. Sewing Needle Seaming Method:
Place two pieces of fabric separately on two knitting needles, take a sewing needle threaded with yarn matching the fabric, pull it out from the first stitch of the lower fabric, then insert it into the first stitch of the upper fabric, and pull out from the second stitch. Continue in this manner until all stitches are sewn. This method leaves no trace at the seam, so it is widely used in modern fabrics, but it is relatively troublesome to undo the stitches later.
2. Knitting Needle Seaming Method:
The knitting needle seaming method is also called the joining stitch method. To seam two pieces of knitted fabric, first place each piece on two knitting needles, with the right sides facing each other. Use another knitting needle to join the first stitches on the two needles into one stitch, then join the second stitches similarly, and then fold the first joined stitch over the second joined stitch. Continue this way until all stitches are seamed. This method leaves a ridge at the seam, which is unsightly and affects the appearance, so it is rarely used in modern knitted fabrics.
3. Crochet Seaming Method:
After finishing the edges of two pieces of fabric, place the right sides inward and the wrong sides outward, align the seam edges together. Take a crochet hook, pull a stitch from the first chain hole of both fabrics, then from the second chain hole, pulling the stitch through the first stitch, and continue this way until the two pieces are seamed together.
2. Small Hole Repair Method for Knitted Fabric
1. In plain weave fabric, if only one stitch is damaged, a crochet hook can be used to loop into the live loop below, hook the horizontal yarns in order, and then lock them.
2. If several stitches are broken, use a crochet hook to hook the live loops from each horizontal yarn in order, then use a sewing needle with thread to sew according to the "fabric sewing needle seaming method."
3. Large Hole Repair Method for Knitted Fabric
1. Selective Repair Method:
First, use knitting needles to pick up all dropped stitches at the lower end of the hole (if they are not aligned, fold them to align), thread a sewing needle with yarn, use the "fabric sewing needle seaming method" to selectively repair two stitches to the right of the dropped stitches, then use knitting needles to knit the picked-up dropped stitches from right to left, knitting down stitches. After finishing the down stitches, use a sewing needle to selectively repair two stitches on the left side, then use knitting needles to knit up stitches from left to right. Repeat this method until the last row, then sew the repaired edge to the fabric hole edge with a sewing needle.
2. Cut-and-Patch Method:
Use scissors to cut the hole into a square or rectangle, pull the loops around the edges evenly, use knitting needles to pick up all dropped stitches below the cut edge, picking up one extra stitch on each side. Knit down stitches on the front side and up stitches on the back side, filling the square area stitch by stitch. Then use a sewing needle to sew the top and both sides to the fabric. This repair method is suitable for elbows of sleeves and yields good results.
The above are several knitting repair methods for knitted fabric, for reference only.
