Birthday Themed Knits
The best way to give a gift from the heart is to make it yourself. People most commonly think of knitting gifts for Christmas and other winter holidays, but knit gifts are applicable year round... which includes birthdays! When I talk about birthday knitting patterns, you may think that I'm crazy because you can create anything for someone's birthday. In this lens, I have collected knitting patterns that contain a birthday theme in the resulting item or were designed with someone's birthday in mind.

Free Birthday Themed Knitting Patterns
- Jacksons Birthday Cake Candle
- A stuffed birthday candle appropriate for a large birthday cake. You may need to create a free Ravelry account to download this free knitting pattern.

- This may have been designed for a toddler, but it could be adapted to fit any size head. Now you have a crown that is sturdy and could last for many years!
- Felted Halloween Crown
- So what if this crown was named for Halloween? It would work for Birthdays, too!

- Spell out Happy Birthday or just create colorful flags as a party decoration. (Letters aren't included in the pattern, but I have assembled numerous alphabet knitting charts for you to choose from.)

- A dishcloth that spells out "Happy Birthday" (There are other birthday themed knit dishcloths on this page, but "The Birthday Box" is a free download.)

Knit Birthday Cupcakes
Now not everyone would appreciate knit cupcakes served at a birthday party, but these cute little knit goodies can serve many purposes. You could have one as the centerpiece on a table, it could be a cake gift for a diabetic or someone with other dietary restrictions, of even as a trick (you mean you wanted a real birthday cake?)

- Cute ideas for birthday parties -- but I don't know how to knit (blush!) and I just opted for crocheting instead! Have any crocheting birthday ideas? Amateur stuff, please? (Blush again!)

- I've been making crochet equivalents for many of my knitting pattern lenses, so this is something that I hope to do in the future.
