Deku Link Crochet Pattern

I, like most people my age, started gaming with Mario. I expanded into Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and I fell in love with gaming. It truly is the game that gave me so much happiness when I was younger. When I heard there was a sequel?! Take. My. Money. While Majora’s Mask may not be a huge favorite among fans I adored it. I made sure to complete every side mission and quest and I just overall enjoyed it. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t continue the storyline with Link searching for Navi. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this Deku Link crochet pattern. It’s modeled after Tatl knocking Link down when he was trying to catch up to the Skull Kid, at the very beginning of their friendship.

Finished Size:

Special Stitch Instructions:

Most pieces begin with a “ring.” Use any type you feel comfortable with (i.e. Magic Circle, chain 2, and single crochet in the second chain, etc). You’ll be working most pieces in a continuous spiral, as indicated by the MC. If your row starts with CH then you’ll be working in regular rows unless otherwise indicated.

The use of a marker is very useful if you’re not used to working in continuous rounds. It’s also great if you have to stop midway.

So tell me, did you enjoy Majora’s Mask?
