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.

This pattern search was previously published on Sqiudoo, however with the migration of Sqiudoo to Hubpages at the end of 2014 some of the pattern searches don't work for Hubpages's model. I have reposted the former lens/hub here. All the research finding the free knitting patterns is my own and I wrote all of the descriptions of the patterns unless otherwise noted. Please let me know if any of the links are broken, I am working on migrating multiple pattern searches over here at once.
