Will a knit sweater unravel if I cut it?

Yes, unless reinforced, a knit sweater will unravel when cut because stitches are loops rather than fixed weaves. To safely modify or crop a knit garment, secure the edges first using stitching, overlocking, or fusible interfacing. Professional knitwear finishers stabilize hems before alterations to prevent unraveling and maintain structure.
