Tiny holes in my essential popover hoodie

I just received my essential popover patchwork hoodie, only to find all these tiny holes along the pocket and bottom ribbing. Has anyone seen this happen before?

I’m currently chatting with customer support, I may be able to get a partial refund. I’m just worried about the holes along the ribbing stretching, or how I can mend these?

(I initially hoped for a simple exchange, but the size/style of hoodie is out of stock)
