How to Fix a Snag in a Sweater
Here, I’m going to show you how to fix an annoying snag in your sweater.
If a thread from your sweater is all out of whack, it’s actually pretty easy to smooth over. Don’t cut that snag, or you’ll create a big, nasty hole.
Instead, I’m going to loop you in on the fastest, easiest way to mend your sweater. All you need to do this is a bobby pin.

Tools and materials:
- Bobby pin
1. Loop bobby pin through
Loop the bobby pin into that snagged loop.
2. Thread it back
Then, thread it back through the sweater.
3. Pull and remove pin
On the other side of the sweater, pull the bobby pin tight, then remove it.
Then, if there’s enough thread, tie it in a little knot to secure it.
That was so easy to go, and now your sweater is snag-free.
If you wear a lot of knits and you really want to go pro, you can get one of these - it’s called a knit-picker.
It does the same thing but on a professional level.

Needle threader works well as well as the end of the needle with the eye. Much smaller too. A Bobby pin is to big for fine knit material.
I agree with Carol. A very small crochet hook from the inside works the best. I usually use a safety pin to pull elastic through a narrow space, but I will try a bobby pin next time.
