Can sweater knit pants be hemmed?

Yes, sweater knit pants can be hemmed, but the process requires care because knit fabrics stretch and unravel easily. Professional tailors use a stretch stitch or serger to preserve elasticity. To maintain the garment’s drape, hemming should match the original gauge and yarn tension. Many fashion manufacturers use a cover-stitch finish—common in OEM knitwear—to keep a factory-level appearance. Always steam, not press, to retain shape.
