The chunky cardigan is the fall piece everyone reaches for and few get right: too heavy and it swamps; too thin and it is just a sweater. Ours are knit in substantial-but-soft yarns, cut oversized through the body with sleeves that stop where they should, so you look wrapped rather than buried.
Long chunky cardigans go over leggings and a tunic; cropped chunky cardigans sit over high-waisted trousers; cable-knit and pom-pom styles are the cabin-weekend favorites.

How do I keep a chunky knit from pilling? Wash inside out on cool, dry flat, and use a sweater comb on any pills — they lift off easily on a dense knit.
