This sleek and chic JW Anderson cardigan has been trending on Tik Tok.

Harry Styles is certainly one to watch when it comes to fashion. Long gone are his&nbsp;One Direction days&nbsp;sporting Jack Wills hoodies.&nbsp;\

Today,&nbsp;the pop singer is more likely found in head to toe Gucci looks&nbsp;with&nbsp;a &#39;70s rockstar aesthetic. Earlier in February, Harry made an appearance in the Today Show in the US, rocking a colour-block patchwork cardigan that came in a delightful rainbow hue by JW Anderson.

This has since sparked a viral fashion sensation in its wake, with many of his young fans flocking to social media platform Tik Tok to post their own DIY version of the cardigan.

Just take a look at the hashtag<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/harrystylescardigan" style="box-sizing:border-box"> #harrystylescardigan</a> on Tik Tok alone: it has garnered 4.8 million views, with the most popular video of which is by user @llilbittylivie, with over 3.2 million views.

Having seen how this viral trend has unfolded, JW Anderson responded to all the &ldquo;TikTok Cardigan fans&rdquo; with some goodwill -- providing them with a link to the original cardigan pattern, which can be now found on <a href="https://www.jwanderson.com/gb/cardigan-pattern" style="box-sizing:border-box; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; orphans:2; text-align:start; widows:2; -webkit-text-stroke-width:0px; word-spacing:0px">their official website</a>.

&ldquo;I am so impressed and incredibly humbled by this trend and everyone knitting the cardigan. I really wanted to show our appreciation so we are sharing the pattern with everyone. Keep it up!,&rdquo; said Jonathan Anderson on Instagram.

Crochet as a fashion trend didn&rsquo;t originate from Harry Styles or the quarantine, though they&rsquo;ve certainly had a part to play in it.

Back in the Spring 2020 runways, designers from Marni to Stella McCartney embraced this handmade fiber art trend on the catwalks. In a world where fast fashion brands are able to churn out thousands of pieces in just a matter of days, there&#39;s just something about this homespun trend that is all the more precious.
