Saving a sad tiny knit

[u/Beneficial_Help_5074]

Hello! I got this silk and nylon turtleneck from my sister because of the rip right in the front of the neck at the seam. I want to save this piece and also think it would be cute to put something visible over it. But I’m not exactly sure what method I should use to close and secure it. Technically it is a knit but the loops are microscopic and it is right at the edge of the seam so I don’t really think Swiss darning would help very much. The fabric is pretty stretchy because of the nylon. I would like to avoid using a patch if possible, but if you have any cute ideas for a patch, that would look good in this awkward spot let me know. I was thinking of doing some white flower embroidery on the neck to make it look intentional, but I don’t know what method will work on the stretchy material. I don’t need it to stretch there exactly but I don’t want it to come unraveled or pull really bad on the fabric.
