1. Loosely Knits. Snag in your loose knitted winter scarf is easy to fix, a warming
jewelry scarfmade of wool or other thick yarn always has a big knit pattern, and you can clearly saw the individual strands of yarn. This type of scarf doesn’t have a accurate front and back, so you can’t just pull the thread through to the other side. If the snag isn’t too severe, you can gently pull the scarf on either side of the snag to smooth it back into place. If it’s a big snag, use a crochet needle or even a bobby pin to pull it back into place by tugging on the stitches in the same row until the snag is gone.
2. Closely Knits. The tighter knits of cotton, cashmere or closely knit wool scarves give you a more complicated snag fix. For this repair, you can use a small crochet needle or a needle threader. Yes, a needle threader is a tool from back in the day when ladies sewed lots of their own clothes. Ask your grandma if she has one in her sewing kit, or stroll over to the fabric store to buy one. Its thin, diamond-shaped wire is attached to a little handle. Push the wire through the scarf to catch the snag and pull it back into place. You’ll need to pull the same piece of yarn into place in its row, again, if you don’t want a loop sticking out on the other side of your scarf.
3. Knitted Fabric. Thin cotton summer
silk scarves won’t pull as easily as widely knit scarves, but they’re more likely to get a hole along with the pull. First, try smoothing the snag back out by tugging on either side. If that doesn’t work, you have a few other options. Depending where the pull is on the scarf, your best bet might be to disguise it. You can pull the thread back through with the needle threader or poke it through with the wide end of a sewing needle, tie it off in a knot and cut the excess. If there’s a small hole and it’s in an inconspicuous area that will be hidden, stitched it carefully.
4. Patterned Weaves. The most frustrating scarf snags happen on your patterned silk, pashmina or fine synthetic scarves. The snagged thread throws off the pattern, so you want to fix it right. These scarves are the most likely to have a definite front and back, though, so you may be in luck. Push a fine sewing needle and thread through the back of the scarf, catch the snag with the thread and use it to coax the snag back into place. If the pattern isn’t messed up too badly, pull the snag all the way through to the other side and tie it off.
