Harry Styles' Cardigan Kits - Starter & Complete

With Harry Styles coming back to Australia in 2026, now's the time to make your own version of his iconic cardigan. This slouchy, oversized, and cuddly cardi was originally designed by JW Anderson and worn by Harry Styles for a performance on the TODAY show in February 2020, and is the ultimate example of the Cottagecore internet aesthetic.

This striking patchwork colourblock cardigan introduces various knitting stitches to relative newcomers to knitting...from simple garter stitch, through textured moss stitch, to stranded colourwork in a houndstooth pattern.

The cardi is constructed from striped and textured vertical panels one square wide which are hand sewn together to make the patchwork body and sleeves. Ribs, collar, cuffs and front bands are knitted separately and hand sewn on. Yarn tail ends are tied together to make small tassels. It's not constructed perfectly, so rough joins, visible colour changes and tail ends on the right side are part of the design.

Available in 2 size kits:

• Starter kits contain one ball of each colour of the yarn required to make the cardigan. Pattern, needles, hooks, buttons and accessories aren't included. Start work on your cardi, and purchase more yarn when you need it.
• Complete kits contain all the yarn you need to make your own cardigan.

Choose from 2 yarns:

• Peppin 10 & 14 combo - soft, bouncy, Australian superwash merino
• Grange 10 & 14 combo - heathered blend of merino and alpaca
