Those of you who have been with us from the beginning will know that the Geek-A-Long already paid tribute to The Legend of Zelda franchise in 2014. The Triforce was actually the second square we ever released, so it holds a special place in our hearts. And we knew it had to be a part of the 2016 blanket. I mean, could we even really call it a tribute to video games without our old pal Link?

The answer is no. No, we could not.

There is a lot of powerful and known imagery from the games, which is bound to happen when you’re ranked number two as the all-time best video game right underneath Mario. (Although, I have seen a bunch of lists that put The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as number one.) We had a rough time deciding what to memorialize on the blanket this year. After much debate, we went with Majora’s Mask.

Note that this pattern includes both knitting and crochet instructions. The needle/hook size given above is for the specific craft.
