A hole in a sock can be reason to throw it out, but fixing the problem before it gets worse can save your favorite pair. This technique can save you from throwing out a perfectly good, repairable sock with a hole in it. It may be helpful to practice sewing before attempting this method, although this is a great place to start your sewing journey.
