A chunky knit should feel like an embrace, not like wearing a rug!

Just imagine the warmth and softness of a heavy cardigan with none of the stiffness — sleeves that gather gently at the wrist, a body that falls open in a long, easy line. Now stop imagining, because the Helen is cut for exactly that feeling. A deep V-neck, three buttons, generous balloon sleeves and a lofty knit that stays light on the shoulders.

• Lofty, Not Heavy
  The knit is open and airy, so it holds a great deal of warmth without the weight you brace for with chunky knitwear. You can wear it all evening without your shoulders tiring.
• The V-Neck Does The Shaping
  Worn open, the front falls into a long V that lengthens the whole body. It is the single most flattering way to wear a bulky knit, and this one is built around it.
• Balloon Sleeves With A Soft Cuff
  The sleeves are full through the arm and gather at the wrist, which keeps them from swallowing your hands and adds a quietly elegant shape.
• Seven Warm Colors
  Rust red, burnt orange, cream, coffee, navy, green and black — colors chosen for depth rather than brightness, so each one looks rich against denim or cream.
• Fit Note
  Deliberately oversized, S through 3XL. Take your usual size for the intended slouchy drape; size down if you would like it closer to the body.

Heavy knits usually get worn at home and nowhere else, because they are too much to move around in. This one is light enough to keep on all day — which is how a chunky cardigan finally earns a place in your regular rotation.
