Hole in Cashmere Sweater?

I just found a tiny, star shaped hole in the front of a beloved cream colored cashmere sweater. Does anyone know how to fix it. Should I take it to the tailor? Thanks!

I'm doing the same thing with a cream cashmere cardigan and I'm using that fusible stuff, similar to iron on patches but nice and thin. I figure it will show a bit, but when it comes to losing my "security sweater", it's all ok in my book. Good luck to ya and wear it with heart!

It's better to have a experieneced knitter for amending and it won't cost much, since a small hole is very easily to grow bigger and bigger and finally you will lost this sweater.

I just found this online.
How do you repair a hole in a cashmere sweater?
In: Clothing [Edit categories]

do what I'm about to do: take some of those iron-on patches. Turn your sweater inside-out. Cut a small piece of iron-on stuff, and with heat on very low, iron over the hole. It will keep the hole from ripping and if the hole is small, no one will ever see it.
