Fixing a hole in knitting

In continuation of the whole moth issue, I was trying to find out how to fix (sometimes quite big) holes in knitting. I have two jumpers I knitted which is pure merino. This is apparently candy to moths and they gratefully dug into the buffet.

After washing all my wools carefully, I tried to google techniques for fixing the holes but I couldn’t find too much, so I kinda winged it. Looks like it worked quite well! Luckily I had some of the original yarn left.

Of course there’s another solution too, but it’s nowhere near as satisfying…
