My feet are right at the top of most size ranges, which means I am constantly wearing holes in the toes. I have taken to darning the hole - or often sewing over the thinning patch to reinforce it before a hole wears through.

Whenever I see instructions for how to darn they use straight stiches like shown in this article, but I don’t feel that having a solid patch in a stretchy fabric works well, so use a netting style stitch instead so it has more give. (when I get some time I might do some pics/a tutorial to show you).

Does anyone else darn their socks (or any other knitwear) and if so what type of stitch do you use?
