How an L.A. TikTok star turned a granny-square challenge into a crowdsourced cardigan [Los Angeles Times]
Elevating crocheted granny squares to couture (and captivating her TikTok followers in the process) is something of a natural instinct for Liv Huffman.
The 22-year-old Los Angeles social media influencer, who is known for her futuristic makeup videos and exotic eyebrow tutorials, took inspiration from British fashion label JW Anderson when creating a knockoff version of what’s being dubbed the “Harry Styles cardigan,” a relaxed color-blocked patchwork sweater with a wide collar. Her effort became a viral crochet challenge on the video-sharing app in June after Styles wore the cardigan during a rehearsal for his appearance on the “Today” show.
