Hemming knitwear
I have this Aran cable knit sweater which is too long in the body. I wonder by how much do you think I should have the bottom hemmed? Also, is there a better way of doing it then cutting the existing hem, cutting a portion of the sweater and reattaching the hem?
First pic is full length, second is having the hem (7cm) rolled back under, 3rd and 4th are having a bit more rolled under. Full length of the sweater is 66 cm. Interestingly, I have a hoodie of the same length but it doesn’t seem (I think) too long on me. Is it because the two fabrics bunch differently? Or because of the front pocket of the hoodie? Attached a picture of it for comparison.
