When quarantine first started up, many people took up new hobbies including crocheting. Crocheting allows you to create anything from bandanas to full length dresses depending on how much yarn and time you’ve got. Over time, this hobby grew viral on TikTok, especially the Harry Styles JW Anderson Cardigan.

Although Harry’s cardigan may be a little too warm for spring and summer weather, there are still many ways to incorporate crochet into your personal style:

1. Accessorize!

​Whether it’s a crochet mini purse or a cute bucket hat, crochet accessories are adorable and easy to mix into a basic outfit to give it a bit of flare.

3. Removable layers

​Wearing something light like a mini dress or a flowy midi skirt and your favorite crochet sweater is comfy and adorable. If you get too warm, wearing a sweater around your waist or tied around your shoulders is preppy and fun. Opt for light or bright colors to match the season.
