A further post on the page seemed to indicate Tom will be launching his knitting endeavours into a business with the caption: ‘Made With Love – Launching Soon bytomdaley.com.’
Tom, who won gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, was spotted crocheting and knitting as he sat watching the games in Japan this year.
Tom recently showcased a pair of swimming trunks which he had crocheted.
Showing off his washboard abs, the sports star posed in his trunks above a swimming pool.

Alongside the post, he wrote: ‘I finally made some crochet trunks!’ before he shared snaps of himself in a variety of poses.
He added: ‘I couldn’t help but share these trunks I made. They are my first attempt at crochet trunks and I am sure I will get better.’
During the Olympics Tom and Matty beat China by just 1.23 points after a nerveless display in the synchronised category as Daley collected his third Olympic medal.
Daley made his Olympic debut as a 14-year-old in Beijing and won bronze at London 2012 and Rio five years ago.
Daley and Lee were not expected to win, with China the favourites, but they never dropped out of the top two and finished with a score of 471.81 following an exceptional forward four-and-a-half somersaults pike when the pressure was on in the final round.

China’s poor fourth-round dive let the Team GB pair take the lead and they never looked back, with the ROC claiming bronze.
‘It’s kind of unbelievable. I dreamt, as has Matty, since I started diving 20 years ago for this moment,’ said Daley.
‘I thought I was going to win an Olympic gold in Rio and that turned out the complete opposite by a long shot.
‘My husband said to me my story wasn’t finished and my son (Robbie) needed to be there to watch me win an Olympic gold medal.
‘I can say my son watched me become an Olympic champion, albeit on TV as they couldn’t be here. It’s such a great feeling.’
Lee added: ‘It felt crazy, obviously. In October 2018 I moved my whole life to London from Leeds. I was away from my family and friends, everyone. I had nothing in London. Our aim was to win an Olympic medal.
‘To be able to put the well-deserved gold medal around his neck was really special to me and I’m very very proud of him. Obviously it’s my dream to be a gold medallist, an Olympic gold medallist, and it’s great to be able to have won that with him.’
Trunks: The Olympic diver took to his Instagram Stories recently and shared a variety of snaps of himself sporting his knitted trunks, which were navy with yellow stripes
