You can do many a good turn by darning.

Mind you get wool or thread the same color, and if possible of the same thickness as the threads of the stockings you are going to darn.

You should put in your needle about an inch from the actual hole, and push it up and down in straight lines, taking a thread and missing a thread.

Then repeat this again criss-cross, leaving loops of the wool where you turn, so that the new wool can shrink without tearing the stocking when washed.
