That's a kind of plan C, plan B being weaving a lil patch of fabric over it, and plan A to re-knit the unraveled fabric. I don't know how to do planA though!
Now I'm not sure whether that's an actual phrase! There's been a lot to do for me lately, and I didn't have much time for hobbies and relaxation, is what I was trying to say.

Use a needle and thread and draw that hole togetherish.

Adding to this, I want it to look as close to the original as possible, because my great-grandma, who died before I was born, made the cardigan.

The knitting/repair/mending communities of reddit are very good at this.

Hey! Did you manage to repair it? :)

I honestly have been pretty swamped and haven't even tried yet

I'm not sure what it means to be swamped. But I can also be really slow to get crafty stuff done haha
