‘Watch This Space': Tom Daley Shares His Designs for His Paris Olympics Knitting Project Ahead of His Fifth Games

Tom Daley isn’t just skilled in swimming, but he’s an excellent knitter as well!

The 30-year-old diver representing Great Britain is headed to Paris in style for the 2024 Olympics. On Wednesday, July 17, he shared one of his latest designs on social media.

“My 5th Olympics is underway! I just wanted to jump in here and say a big thank you for all the support, and to let you know that we have so many exciting things coming up for #madewithlove!” Daley captioned an Instagram carousel.

Daley launched Made with Love By Tom Daley after he and his knitting needles went viral at the Tokyo Olympics in August 2020.

In the first slide of his upload on Wednesday, the swimmer showed off a drawing of an oversized sweater. The mostly blue top featured red trimming around the neckline and wrists.

Written across was the word “Paris,” with the City of Love’s most famous landmark — the Eiffel Tower — serving as the “A.”

The Union Flag, or Union Jack, was also etched into the design near the waist area.

Other footage showed him sketching and reviewing his font on a computer screen.

The Olympic diving gold medalist has taken his talents to the next level, partnering with brands like Adidas to show off his knitting abilities.

Last week, Daley spoke to British Vogue about his hobby, which has clearly turned into a business venture.

While showing off “the everyday essentials he carries in his @Dior tote” during an Instagram clip with the fashion publication, he confessed, “I, of course, have some yarn on me at all times.”

“Also my knitting needles, which come in all kinds of shapes and sizes,” he continued. “Knitting, for me, became my therapy.”

In a message on Daley’s Made with Love website, he says he “first picked up my knitting needles in March 2020.”

Three years later, the athlete’s passion produces joggers, shirts, baby clothes and more.

“I designed these knit kits to help encourage you to pick up those needles, learn the basics, and fall in love with knitting at the same time – all whilst creating something to show off or pass on,” he adds. 

The 2024 Summer Olympics will be broadcast live from Paris from July 26 to Aug. 11 on NBC.
