9 Knitting Patterns for the 2022 Winter Olympics

The 2022 Winter Olympics is just beginning, and a whole host of exciting sporting events in Beijing are getting underway between now and 20th of February. That gives us plenty of time to celebrate in the knittiest way we know how! The Winter Olympics certainly lends itself to knitting and cosy knitwear – we’re feeling chilly just thinking about all that snow and ice! From a skier tea cosy, to skate warmers, to a flower knitting pattern to help you make your own knitted Olympic bouquets, we’ve rounded up the best knitting patterns around to celebrate the 2022 Winter Olympics!

Customisable Stadium Set

These basic hat, blanket and scarf patterns use just two colours, making them perfect for customising to match the colours of your favourite team! Pick your colours, get knitting and cheer on your favourite ice hockey team in style this Winter Olympics! Plus, the pattern is free!

Ice Skating Doll

This fabulous ice skater doll will be performing all the pirouettes and twirls of a real-life ice dancer as soon as her last few stitches are complete – whether she becomes a mascot for your favourite figure skaters while you watch them compete, or she’s made as a gift for a little person who’s keen to take up the sport themselves, this doll will undoubtedly bring some winter magic wherever she goes!

Skier Tea Cosy

With all that snow and ice on view, we knitters will need a warming cuppa by our side as we cheer on the athletes. So why not knit up this fantastic skier tea cosy, complete with goggles and ski poles? We just love it! 

Mini Curling Rocks

Curling is the sport where players slide ‘stones’ along ice towards the target area, with their teammates using curling brooms to influence the distance and direction of the stone. It’s fascinating to watch, and these miniature curling rocks would make great gifts for a curling fan!

Ice Skate Warmers

We don’t know about you, but we’re always inspired by the beauty and elegance of the figure skaters when we watch the Winter Olympics. It might be too late for us to get a gold medal now, but we can always pretend with a pair of lovely knitted leg warmers! Or perhaps you know a budding ice dancer who would love these knitted leg warmers when they’re next on the ice? 

Kids’ Fair Isle Set

Make a little one feel like they belong with the ski crowd with this matching set of Fair Isle accessories including a hat, mittens and scarf! There’s some beautiful colourwork to get stuck into and it’s sure to keep the lucky recipient warm!

Olympic Bouquets

If you haven’t seen already, the 2022 Winter Olympic champions will be receiving crocheted flower bouquets instead of the usual cut flowers. Around 35 hours of work goes into each full bouquet! We think they’re absolutely stunning, and for the champions, they are a lifelong keepsake! Why not knit your own roses for your own bouquet? Take a look at this free knitted rose pattern here.

Gold Medal

Go for gold with this free Olympic medal pattern. This free knitting pattern will have you feeling on top of the world on your very own podium – you could even use them throughout the year to award during family games!

Winter Sports Hat

Choose from the seven different winter sport motifs in this pattern to create your own personalised beanie! There are motifs for a downhill skier, cross-country skier, snowboarder, figure skater, snowshoeing, hockey player, and sledder.

Winter Olympics 2022 Mascot

It’s only a matter of time before someone comes up with a knitting pattern for this year’s mascot, Bing Dwen Dwen... keep your eyes peeled and tag us in your pictures on social media if you yarn-ify him yourself!
