10 Birthday Party Patterns
Ask any child what their favorite holiday is, and they’ll invariably tell you “My birthday!” What is it that makes a birthday celebration so special? A great many things: the cake, the presents, the special guests, and the decorations, to name a few. But one thing ties it all together, and that’s the excitement that goes along with the birthday celebration!!
We, as artists, can’t help but take that excitement and use it to fuel our creativity. We can create those decorations, make a beautiful handmade gift or a crown to adorn the birthday boy or girl’s head! Crocheters just have a knack for making something extra special.
Festive Birthday Decorations:
1 – Celebrate with this fun and versatile banner pattern!
Sarah from Repeat Crafter Me has created a c2c birthday blanket pattern that includes a banner you can hang! Even better, she has provided graphs for the words Celebrate and Happy Birthday so you can use your banner for almost any occasion! Find the FREE pattern here!
2 – I instantly fell in love with this colorful bunting!
I love a classic bunting for decoration, and this one is a great scrap buster, too! The Happy Birthday Bunting pattern by Yarn and Shine on Etsy offers instructions for both the intarsia and tapestry methods, so you can learn a new technique or use the one you prefer. Find the premium pattern here!
Birthday Balloons Galore:

Hats are a great way to get everyone in on the fun and into a festive mood! That is what I love about this adorable Birthday Party Hat pattern by Knits n Blooms Designs on Etsy!
