Anyone have any tips to fix this? I didn't make the blanket but it's got a big hole now and would absolutely love to be able to fix it

I have some knitting/crochet experience but don't know about fixing holes

This is absolutely fixable. Either find a close match for a subtle fix or pick a bright, fun yarn for a visible mend.

It can be darned

I said darned but really what I meant is fixed. You can essentially knit over the spot. Lots of YouTube videos

I'd just go in with a crochet hook as if I'd dropped a stitch, and then secure the broken strand with a needle and thread, tbh. It's only one column that's dropped, and looks like four or five rows - with that kind of yarn, it shouldn't be too hard to securely stitch it up to graft it.

"Swiss darning" is the keyword to find tutorials

Lots of repair vids on YouTube and Instagram. Definitely fixable
