Since my brother in law is big fan of Nintendo games. He  asked me to make him a beanie with Link from The Legend from Zelda. He made a drawing with pixels. I think that pixels are easier to create with Tunisian crochet technique. It came out pretty neat, but only downside is that this technique uses a lot of yarn and it makes very thick surface. The hat came out to be very warm.  I did not have special hook, so I glued two regular crochet hooks to  create one long hook. I used tape to do this. I recommend using one bigger, and one smaller hook, so that yarn can slide easily.
Since It was the first time I used Tunisian crochet, I did a patch with the picture separately from the body of the beanie. Later on, sewed the patch and the hat.
