I am not a huge gamer.  I will button-mash a first-person-shooter game with my husband now and again, but I don’t spend much time on it. There are, however, a handful of games that I love.  They all have the same thing in common: solving puzzles. The Legend of Zelda is one of the greatest (and most fun) puzzle-solving games ever made (at least in my humble opinion)! So when my sister-in-law commissioned me to make a crochet Link hat for each of her boys, I was excited for the opportunity to make a pattern dedicated to the greatest video game hero EVER: Link.

The small Tri-Force tag is very simple. To make it, simply draw the design on a piece of cream-colored ribbon with a gold paint marker. It took me a few tries to get it to look right! Then, machine or hand-sew the tag onto your hat, taking care to fold under the raw edge. I only stitched the top and left the folded bottom part un-sewn.

  1. Can you make more stuff of this theme?
    I LIVE the Legends of Zelda (Ocarina Of time is what I am playing currently)!😆

    I would appreciate it! Thank you!

    1. oh my! We are kindred spirits! I have been playing through Ocarina myself. I’ve played through it before but it’s been a Loooong time. I cannot beat that dang fire dragon, two hits and I’m dead!!

  2. I’m making this for my husband and he has a really big head. I have to do more than 71 stitches. Are there certain intervals to go by or does it matter?

  3. I just love your patterns. My daughter would like me to make the Link hat as a photo prop for my newborn grandson. I noticed your sm size is for children. Do you recommend just using a smaller hook or are there any other adjustments to be made? Also is the pattern in US or other terminology
    Thank you in advance.

  4. What size is the finished product? I want to make one for my husband and he would need an adult extra large.
    Thanks!

  5. Hi! My name is Eetai. My friend Mrs. Su asking for knitting hat. Would you please provide free pattern for knitting hat 👒 for women.
    Thanks a lot.
