Olympic Swimmer Tom Daley Knitting in the Stands- This is Everything
Written by Brittany Styles on August 2, 2021
If only knitting were an Olympic Sport!
Tom Daley is a 27-year-old Olympic Swimmer, but he’s also very good at knitting! You may have seen Tom competing in the swimming division at the Tokyo Olympics, but it’s hard to miss him sitting in the stands with knitting needles in his hands.

TODAY reports, “Daley took up knitting and crocheting at the beginning of lockdown and said he became “obsessed ever since,” even starting an Instagram account solely dedicated to his creations in September 2020 called “Made With Love By Tom Daley.”
He even has an Instagram page, dedicated to his creations!
“He aims to raffle off some of his homemade creations in an effort to raise money for charity. Earlier this month, he successfully raffled off a chunky rainbow sweater and raised £5,787 (approximately $8,046) for the UK-based Brain Tumour Charity. Daley chose that organization as his father died in 2011 from a brain tumor at age 40.”
Nice guy, super talented athlete, and incredible with knitting skills! Can’t wait to see what he’s making in the stands. Hat, mittens, sweater, a speedo? We’ll see!
