for anyone interested in mending, i recommend the speedweve (or other darning loom brand) for patching up holes in clothes!!
it's easy to use and fun, you can make cool patterns with it :D and extending the lifespan of your clothes is good for saving money and the environment too

it looks like this and you can get different sizes (usually 12 pin, 14 pin or 28 pin) and i found 12 is perfect for darning socks. it's about $10 on amazon, but if you're like me and try to avoid using amazon there are other sites too, like this one (where i got the image from), but they can be a bit more expensive... it's worth looking around to get one for a good price
i've only done socks so far but here are some pics of what i've done (the patch in the first pic's not great but it was one of my first attempts!!):
