"This autumnal color mix with burgundy and ochre reminds me of a walk in the forest – so cozy."

"Kirtipur" Hand-knitted Nepalese Sweater

The "Kirtipur" is a unique, hand-knitted sweater that combines classic Fair Isle elements with the warm, authentic knitting artistry of Nepalese craftswomen. Each piece is created in Panauti, Banepa, or Shakhu – entirely by hand and guaranteed to be a true one-of-a-kind.

The model in the product photos is 170 cm tall and wears the sweater in size L – the fit is normal to loose, and the pure wool also offers natural stretch. You can find the detailed size chart with all measurements directly with the product images.

Material & Warmth

The "Kirtipur" is made from dense, natural sheep's wool. It provides reliable warmth for cold days, a robust, durable structure, pleasant breathability, and a balanced body climate – ideal for winter, transitional seasons, or cozy evenings.

Design & Pattern

Elaborate Jacquard and stripe patterns in Fair Isle style run throughout the sweater. The autumnal color palette combines warm tones such as dark brown, grey, and natural white, olive, navy, and burgundy with accents of ochre, light blue, and red. Since each sweater is knitted individually, colors and patterns may vary slightly – each piece is truly unique.
