LOVED it!
this is fantastic!
love your Zelda goodies - i was just wondering what yarn you did use to get the right green? i can't find a color I like at my local stores, so I was wondering if I could bum the answer off of you! THANK YOU
Kayla: I am pretty sure it was forest green.
My Boys are so excited about this hat! Will let you know how it turns out! Thanks!
Thanks! I would love to know how it turns out :)
I made this hat for my son and made it a bit smaller by only increasing to 60 stitches then finishing it. It came out great! Thanks so much for the pattern!!
awesome! I did that same thing for my daughter a while ago so she didn't have to wear Daddy's hat haha.
Made the hat for my oldest son. He loves it!! I also made the mushroom/mario hat for my youngest son. Just got it done. He has worn it ALL day! Now I am working on the star hat for my 5 year old daughter. Thanks for the patterns. We are having so much fun! BTW, I had to ask my son what NIN stood for...lol!!
LOL I'm glad everyone liked it :)
:( I am still having a really hard time reading patterns, any advice?
Mystic Marie: yep,for a while while you are still learning, write out the abbreviations. Eventually you will know what they are because you wrote them out so many times. Also try using a highlighter to help keep your place. Count the stitches at the end of every row/rnd just in case you lost count or dropped a stitch. Try using a marker even when you don't need to. That way you don't get lost. What exactly are you getting hung up on?
I really want to use this pattern but I'm not quite understanding it. When you work in the rounds do you do it multiple times? I'm working on the very beginning and it just isn't coming out right, it's flaring out too quickly.
Its a great hat. I had to chain 2 at the end of every row, I couldn't get it to work otherwise, but that was me, not your pattern! The boy I made it for is really excited! Thank you!
I love this hat. You can just change the color of the hat to be the different link's hats. I'm planning on making a few for my friends. But I was going to sell some hats for my gamer club at my school because it gives me something to do and some money sense I'm on a tight budget. I'll make sure to credit you and leave a tag, in the hats, to your website for more info about creator of the hat. THANK YOU for pattern. And it give a guy a change to step away from the video games.
Your hat gained me points w my gym teacher which i hardcore needed I LOVE YOU!!!!!
Thank you soooooo much! I have been looking for a Link hat pattern for a long time! I have a 12 year old brother in law that has been wanting one since he was 3, again, thanks!

Dearest April,
I've made 2 of ur Link hats. I've had to adjust the pattern tho because the circumference is way too big. I switched to a G hook and only increase to the 12:1 ratio. Then I still have to decrease to fit a 24" head. I didn't use the fpdc/bpdc, does that make it decrease?

My hat came out fantastic! Thank you sooooo much for sharing this. I wish I could show you a picture. If I figure out how to I will upload it so you can see!! Thanks again! <3
I want to make this for my friend, but its to short. How would you remedy this, without having it be holey?
Made this for my grandson, he's been waiting like forever for me to make it, your pattern was great!!!
I think that I'm missing something in the pattern. It's flaring out too quickly and the stitch numbers at the end are not matching up. For round 5 there is no way it equals to 16 at the end. It equals to 24. What am I doing wrong?
I figured it out. Thank you.
Just made the hat.
But I did not use the chain 3 as a DC
If you do that the count will be off
Other than that great pattern
