How To: Fix a Sweater Snag
A snag in your favorite sweater doesn't have to mean a trip to the tailor―or the donation pile. In just two quick steps you can fix any knit. Watch this video.
What You Need:
Sweater, sewing needle or crochet hook, clear nail polish
Follow These Two Easy Steps:
1Push or pull the snag through the sweaterUsing a sewing needle, push the scraggly bit of the snag through to the inside of the sweater. If the snag’s too big to grab this way, turn the sweater inside out and use a crochet hook to tug the strands to the inside.
Tip: Don’t cut the snag’s strands; you might create a hole.
2Knot the snagKeep the snag at bay by tying it in a knot. Dabbing the knot with clear nail polish will stop it from unraveling, but make sure the knit is thick enough to prevent any polish from bleeding through to the sweater’s front.
