Link from The Legend of Zelda- afghan

[GotJowls]

This is the blanket I just finished for my son. I hope the pic posts properly, I'm doing this from my phone.

I haven't gotten an iron yet, so the bottom edge rolls a bit.

 

[GotJowls]

Hmmm no pic, lemme try to work this out.

All better, laptop was needed, my phone just kept messing it up.

That is just amazing. I'm so glad you got it completed and..... On To The Next!

It's so cool looking!  I loved the original Legend of Zelda (way back in the early 90's.)  It definitely looks like Link.  Great job!!!

This turned out great! I want to make one for my brother and was going to make it as a granny square blanket. I barely started it...

Well done!

I love this so much! Is this just SC following a pattern?

Just a reminder that Link is a trademarked character, so if a pattern was actually used, we can only allow information about it or links to it if it is an officially-licensed pattern. If a pattern is licensed, it will state so clearly in the pattern description.

 

This is basically just a pixel-type representation of Link, so it would be fairly easy to draw one out yourself on graph paper.

Ty!

This was made in afghan stitch. I didn't follow a pattern, since Link is already divided into pixels, I just looked at a photo, and crocheted out the same squares. In any afghan stitch tho, remember the stitches are taller than wide, so it was I believe 10 stitches across and 8 high per pixel. But you could just make out a small square and measure it to fashion the size pixels you want in any stitch. You would want a couple extra rows around each side to get a proper gauge because the yarn gets moved and stretched by its neighbors. So you could easily do single crochet or anything else, but I find afghan stitch is easiest to color change and diagram for pixel projects because no special start or end is really needed per color, just a yarn held over here and there, and the rows are perfectly lined up, not alternated.
