We love Tom Daley's stylish knitted mohair vest
Tom Daley isn't just an Olympic diver – he's also a seriously talented knitter and crocheter. He impresses us with so many of his projects, including this stylish knitted mohair vest.
Tom took to his Instagram to share his latest knitting project: a chic vest knitted with mohair yarn. The vest featured a swirl design in pastel shades, and a high collar.
The podcast presenter revealed a video of himself wearing the knitted vest, in which he says: "So this jumper vest thing is made with a mohair blend, and it's done in stockinette, but also done with the intarsia pattern."
He went on to say: "It's one of the patterns that's in my book Made With Love, so if you want to make it yourself, you can, because there's already a pattern, written and available for lots of different sizes.
Tom finished the video by saying: "But I think it's super cute, it's fluffy, it's light. It's one of those ones that's perfect for this spring weather, to get making. I love the colours, the contrast, and how it's very pastely, yet feels bright and vibrant. And I love the way that it's kind of wavy."
Alongside the video, Tom wrote: "How I made my swirl mohair vest! Really love this for spring and you can actually find the pattern in my book".
Fans were quick to tell Tom how much they loved his latest project, with @by_juliah commenting: "Seems soooo fluffy ! And I love the colours combo" and @kstrakosha commented "Yes, beautiful and super cute".
A knitted vest like Tom's is a great project to work on once you've mastered the basic stitches of how to knit. Tom made his vest in stocking stitch – you can watch our stocking stitch video tutorial for beginners here. Mohair is such a lovely yarn to knit with – it gives a silky, fluffy finish to your projects.
The pattern for Tom's swirly vest features in his book Made With Love, which you can buy from the link below.
Happy knitting!
