These Knitted Birds Make Charming Gifts
I find knitted birds irresistible. It stands to reason, as I am a bird lover in general. The first toys I ever knitted, in fact, were a pair of owls (you just knew they had to be owls, right?), and I gave them to my daughters as birthday presents. They cherish these handmade owls to this day. The birds in nature are currently flying south for the winter, which to my mind is all the more reason to knit birds now. Believe me, it’s very difficult to stop at just one. You may find yourself knitting a bird menagerie in no time! Here is a wide assortment of free knitted bird patterns for you to choose from! (Note: I have included only one pattern for knitted owls, the most popular one available free online. Owls are by far the most common and popular bird for which free patterns are offered, and this list would be at least twice as long if I included them all!)
Free Knitted Bird Patterns
Owl Puffs: Of all the owl and, in fact, bird patterns available free online, this is the most popular. Look into those big eyes and it’s not hard to see why!
Chubby Chirps: Another completely irresistible bird pattern. I think I’ve made at least three of these little darlings. They knit quickly and are oh-so-cute! Bluebird of Happiness: Who couldn’t use one of these in their lives?
