How to Fix Snag in Sweater?

Lay the sweater flat on a clean surface

Gently pull the fabric around the snag to ease tension

Use a crochet hook, needle, or small hook to pull the snagged loop to the inside of the sweater

If the snag is a loose thread, gently work it back into the knit with a needle

Trim only a tiny frayed end if necessary, avoiding cutting the main yarn

For a pulled loop, smooth the surrounding stitches with your fingers

Steam the area lightly if needed to help the fibers relax

Avoid tugging hard on the snag

If the snag is large or the knit is damaged, take the sweater to a tailor or repair specialist
