A blue cashmere sweater mended with a yellow cashmere yarn. This pictures shows the back of the mend, where it is visible that the blue thread is missing but all stitches are recreated with the yellow yarn.

This pictures shows the front of the same mend, where the yellow yarn appears as a circle. You can not see which stitches from the blue thread were missing.

Back and front of a mend.
At the back you can see how every single stitch is recreated. As a result the mended area is just as stretchy as before.
