all I am seeing is the tail end of pulling the threads tight. NOT the far more important bit showing where to thread the tip of the needle and how to figure out that bit
Or just do what I do when I tear an old flannel or bag that I've had forever and love; sew it back together with the skills I taught myself as a 10 year old gay boy and have never refined, so it looks as though Dr. Frankenstein got drunk and gave the clothes stitches. But I always do it in a fun color, that stands out, and proudly wear my ancient red & black flannel with bright blue patches all over it, it gives the clothes character!
My dad used to have a favorite pink and gray flannel shirt. One time we found an old home movie of him getting it for Christmas. Of course, it was actually red and black when he got it. Shortly after that he was given a new red and black flannel shirt.
Clever how they edit it to show the yarn being pulled tight, which is not important information, yet remove any clue about how and where to thread the yarn? The yarn, btw, which the sweater was made from, which most people won't have access to anyway.
Its woven in or knotted the same way you would with any sewing repair. Here is another tutorial, https://youtu.be/jWydTDaLOj4?si=_ExvEwAfNQEKdQ1Z but an assumption is made that the repairer knows to start with secured material (which clearly isnt universally known). You can find tutorials on how to anchor your yarn.
If you really want to know how it's done (and not just complaining for the sake of it), the technique is called swiss darning, there are a lot of videos to pick from. This is the first one that popped up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxmCN1DrM1E
I didn't say one word about the efficacy or authenticity of the repair. I said the video carefully avoids showing even the least bit of useful information. And that's the truth. I'm not sure how you interpreted it that way.
The same way I come home with a shit load of fabric and beads….lofty craft aspirations that are well beyond your free time. And you don’t want it to be discontinued when you finally get to use it in 8 years.

Hate to break it to you OP but I noticed you doing that, you need to be more coy.

Objection! This is, uh, weaving probably, not sewing

Great. I have a red jumper but only black wool. Seriously, I was looking for something like this. Fucking moths like my wollen jumpers..

I have absolutely no idea what they did to fix the hole. None the wiser after watching it multiple times. It may as well be magic.

I totally saw you sew that hole
NotTinyPancakes

MechKelly
A piece of duct tape works fine too.

If they didn't want it to be noticed, they shouldn't have recorded it. I mean, how can I not see it now?
thelightthatisreflected
Or add bright pink yarn and celebrate your holes.
MCNewYorkLives
Almost like the Japanese (I think) tradition of fixing broken items with golden material to accentuate the broken bits
SimpDaddyDee
I've never seen a tear or hole in a sweater where the ends of the cords are in nice, intact loops ...

Exactly this. End result looks great, but I can't see exactly how they did it because they cut those parts out. So, this is worthless.
cearrach
It's not worthless! Look at all the internet points it earned!

Step 1: have a really long piece of yarn that exactly matches the sweater.

All the times i have needed to do this it was on something I had made, and i keep my scrap yarn like a weirdo

Step 0: take "After" picture before making the hole that you plan to 'repair'.

technically I guess someone could use any colour of yarn, it will just be noticeable
