Cardigan




This cardigan was created by artist and content producer Liv Huffman. She was inspired by a J W Anderson patchwork cardigan from the mens Spring/Summer 2020 collection, worn by Harry Styles during rehearsals for a Today show appearance. As the Covid-19 pandemic unfolded and lockdowns were introduced, many turned to crafts to fill their time. Liv Huffman, crocheted her own version of the cardigan, posting a video of it on social media. It went viral, inspiring thousands of Styles fans to make and share their own ingenious interpretations. Delighted by the DIY trend, JW Anderson shared a free downloadable pattern and tutorial for the cardigan.
