The
Olympic Gold medal cosy
has to go down in history as the craftiest way to store a trophy. On one side it’s patterned with the Union Jack and on the other side, it’s the Japanese flag – adorable or what?

Knitting already has its fashion-forward fans and yet Tom Daley is helping create a new breed of knitters with super wearable creations like this chunky knit jumper. What’s more, it only took him a “

To mark two new arrivals to the family, Daley knitted the cutest – and tiniest – matching bear hats for his cousin’s twin girls, Mabel and Poppy.

Instead of forking out £1,750 for a one-off Gucci dress, Daley decided to knit his best friend Sophie Lee a replica, using leftover yarn. Chic
and
crafty.

Winning all the cool uncle points, Daley made this adorable unicorn toy in January 2021, ahead of the arrival of his niece, Myla Aurora Daley.

Daley’s husband,
Dustin Lance Black
, is one lucky man and definitely benefits from his husband’s knitting talents.

The aptly named “Hubba Bubba Vest.” In Daley’s own words: “I have a cute vest to wear over stuff! (Or without anything 😜) what do you think?” I think we all know what the answer to that one is...

The
cardigan that inspired 1,000 memes
