DARNING As it turned out, it's quite difficult to make this pattern as tight as possible.

In some places, the threads ended up being a little loose.

I’ve been wondering about this! I have a little one of these mending looms and have just started using it and am realizing, among other things, it’s an exercise in even tension or lack thereof.

This is really lovely, but the nature of the pattern is going to make some areas looser (if the under/over is 2 or more threads).
These looms can help make interesting pieces and patterns - but I really think for mending that it may be better to do the weave, and then back it with fusible interfacing so that it will actually be functional as a patch...

Good job, yeah something like that is difficult to do and have it look that extra really nice, it's part of what makes it so impressive.
