Unlike a fitted sweater, this black cardigan is meant to go over what you're already wearing — a saree, a kurta, or jeans — adding warmth without changing the look underneath.
Hand-crocheted stitch by stitch in black, it has the slightly irregular, textured character that only handmade pieces have.
It comes in a free size designed to work across a range of body types, with enough stretch that you don't need to worry about exact measurements.
It's made from a soft, lightweight wool that's comfortable for extended wear, not just a quick photo.
₹2,599 — free delivery, ships in 4-5 days across India. Custom sizing and hand-stitching are available on request.
Why a handmade crochet cardigan instead of a machine-knit sweater
The hand-crocheted construction means this black piece can go over a saree, a suit, or jeans without you having to plan the rest of the outfit around it.
Where it works best
-
Over a saree or suit — adds warmth without covering up the outfit underneath
-
Office and daily wear — easy to put on or take off as the temperature changes through the day
-
Casual outings — pairs easily with jeans for a relaxed, everyday look
Fit notes
There's no fixed size chart to worry about here — the hand-crocheted wool has enough stretch to fit different frames. If you'd rather have it tailored, just let us know when ordering.
Care instructions
Hand wash in cold water, or use a gentle machine cycle with a mild or liquid detergent. Wash it separately from other clothing. Skip the iron and let it dry flat instead, ideally out of direct sun, to keep the wool's shape and colour intact.
F&Q
Will this fit me if I'm not sure of my exact size?
This cardigan is designed as a free-size piece with enough stretch to fit a fairly wide range of body types. If you want something closer-fitted, custom sizing is available on request.
Will the black shade match the photos exactly?
Close, but since it's handmade, expect minor natural variation within the black shade and pattern placement — that's normal for handcrafted pieces, not a defect.
Can I wear this over a saree or suit?
Yes — this cardigan is designed to go over a saree or suit without covering up the outfit underneath, so it works well with ethnic wear.
How do I wash it without damaging the wool?
Cold water hand wash or a gentle machine cycle both work — just keep it separate from other clothes, dry it flat, and skip the iron.
Is this piece in stock, or made to order?
This design is hand-crafted to order, so it isn't sitting in bulk stock — place your order and we'll confirm the timeline.
