A hole in the heel or toe does not have to mean the end of a favourite pair of socks. With The Sock Patch, you can cover the hole quickly and easily – without a needle and thread.
The round patches iron on in 15 seconds and come in two sizes for both smaller holes and slightly larger worn areas. The included wooden ironing support is placed inside the sock to provide a stable, smooth surface to work against. This makes it easier to apply the patch evenly and without creases.
The patches are machine washable at up to 60 °C. Socks repaired with The Sock Patch should not be tumble-dried.
What’s included
- 2 sheets with a total of 20 round patches, 3 cm diameter
- 1 sheet with 6 larger round patches, 5 cm diameter
- 3 protective ironing sheets
- 1 wooden ironing support
- Insert the wooden ironing support into the sock and position it beneath the hole. Make sure the fabric lies flat.
- Choose a sock patch that covers the entire hole and carefully remove it from the sheet. Check that the backing sheet has not come away with it. If it has, carefully separate it from the sock patch. The patch will not adhere if the backing remains attached.
- Place the sock patch on the fabric so that it covers the entire hole.
- Place a protective ironing sheet over the sock patch.
- Set the iron to 3 dots, approximately 170–180 °C, and turn off the steam.
- Press the iron against the protective sheet for 15 seconds.
- Remove the iron and allow the repair to cool.
The sock patches are not only for holes that have already appeared. If the fabric around the heel or toe is starting to wear thin, you can iron on a sock patch straight away. It reinforces the worn area and reduces the risk of it developing into a larger hole that is more difficult to repair.

















I had high hopes for these patches, but after less than a month they’ve started to peel off several pairs of socks already. This is disappointing.
They seem brilliant, yet to be tested though
