Baby Link Outfit – Free Pattern
I made this baby-sized Link costume as a baby shower gift for a couple of close friends. Both are huge fans of Zelda, and they are expecting their first child very soon. After posting it on Craftster I was absolutely blown away by the response it received—over 30,000 hits in just one week, and before long dozens of blogs from Geekologie.com to Kotaku.com and even GayGamer.net wrote about my nerdy little outfit! (I love the GayGamer logo, by the way! Would it be inappropriate to call it fabulous?)
You can download the pattern here: Baby Link Pattern (6515). Now you’ll be able to dress up the infant of your choice as Link! Don’t have an infant handy? Make a Baby Link Outfit anyway! Your significant other just might make a baby with you just to be able to dress him/her up as Link!

I hope you are all enjoying the pattern! I’m working on some more great content (HINT: the next free knitting pattern will be Mario NES-inspired!). If you would like to be in the loop, please sign up for my newsletter by using the form in the sidebar.

I have to say this is quite impressive. You have very lucky friends and I’m very jealous. I look forward to the Mario costume.

My daughter asked me to knit this for my 3 month old grandson. I have been knitting for over 25 years. This is THE most confusing pattern I have ever picked up. I plan to make the outfit without the benefit of a pattern.

I managed to get my mom to knit this for my little son (http://ethanchan.ca/wp-content/photos/AllPhotos/thumbs/thumbs_Sape_Halloween_Visit_3.jpg) and it turned out beautifully after she re-sized it.
Any updates on the Mario pattern? Would love to get him into that too!

I’m busily knitting away at the Mario sweater, and I’ll post a pattern of it as soon as it’s done. However, it’s husband-sized, so you’ll have plenty of time to knit it up for your son. I’m so glad the Link costume turned out so well for your little boy. I must say the photo is absolutely adorable!

Now, must learn how to knit properly.

Bravo from France for this work and as well for the Mario sweater.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this pattern! I won’t be using the whole thing, just the hat pattern, but it’s fantastic! I know the dad of the baby will absolutely love it!
