As if finally winning gold at his fourth Olympics wasn't enough, British diver Tom Daley has fueled a huge resurgence in knitting, with his latest creations going for a good cause. The Olympian is using his knitting skills to raise awareness - and much needed funds for the U.K.-based Brain Tumor Charity in memory of his father, Robert, who died of brain cancer in 2011, a year before Daley's Olympic debut at the London Games.

He's already been dubbed "the world's biggest crochet influencer.'
