Me and Kiddie: Texture in Clothing is Hard

I’m finding it very difficult to express the texture in the sweater I’m wearing.

This texture has very minute detail and is very repetitive, yet it has many sharp and soft edges. So basically I can’t come up with some repeating line, or cross hatch that will render the whole thing faithfully. I really have to look at what the texture is doing over every small section of the sweater.
