Measure about an arms length of yarn in your first colour. Thread your darning needle and begin to work into your fabric about 1cm away from your hole. Start at the front of your fabric, rather than behind. Go in and out, under and over, with your needle going vertically. Go over the top and through the stitch until you reach the end of the hole, you can leave the threads hanging.

In the same colour yarn, you will go under vertically across, and then under and over alongside the previous line of stitches in the opposite direction. Take your yarn all the way across when you reach the hole, then continue going in and out until you reach the end of your hole. When you meet the first strand, you can clip your yarns so they are equal length.

Take your second colour and measure about an arms length of yarn and thread your needle. Repeat the same process you did with your first colour, threading under and over alongside the previous line of stitches in 2 directions. When you meet the yarn tails, you can clip your yarns so they are all equal length.

Repeat steps 1-3 until you have filled your hole.

Measure about an arms length of yarn in your first colour. Thread your darning needle and begin to work into your fabric about 1cm away from your hole. This time, you will stitch horizontally, in and out of the fabric until you reach the hole. Start at the back of your work. Go in and out, under and over, until you reach the end of the hole.

In your first colour, go under horizontally across, and then under and over alongside the previous line of stitches in the opposite direction. Once you reach the hole, weave in under and over your previously made line of stitches over the hole. When you meet the first strand, you can clip your yarns so they are equal length. Finish at the back of your work so you can pick up the thread later to continue to use to weave.

Repeat the same steps 6 and 7 for the second colour. Continue alternating between your two colours until your hole has been filled.
