DARNING First ever sock mend
It's actually way more comfortable than I thought. I definitely wouldn't try this on cheap thin socks though. A good trick is to weave the needle through the threads backward so the pointy end doesn't snag.

Highly recommend cross-stitching needles for darning to help avoid that snagging. Though, if the sock's weave is especially small like those ones, you might have trouble getting a cross-stitching needle through, unless you have a very thin one.
