Makar Amigurumi
Makar is the adorable Korok you meet in the Forest Haven with the Deku Tree in the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. With the popularity of Breath of the Wild and the release of Tears of the Kingdom, Koroks have made a comeback in popularity. This is an expert crochet pattern.
Hi everyone!
If you ask me what my favorite Zelda game is, Wind Waker is definitely at the top. I already have one crochet pattern for Wind Waker and I’ve been meaning to design a Makar amigurumi for a long time.
The world of Zelda is full of different species Link gets to interact with, and that includes the Koroks. Originally making their appearance in Wind Waker, they sprang back up in Breath of the Wild.
Helping Makar get into the heart of the wind temple to play his violin was one of the highlights of Wind Waker for me. Not to mention that the soundtrack for the Molgera boss fight slapped so hard.
Clicking on certain links may result in a small commission for me at no extra cost to you. Money generated from this allows me to continue to design and post cute amigurumi patterns for you all!
Crochet Korok
Makar is a Zelda character from Wind Waker. This is an expert crochet pattern due to a large amount of yarn colour changes. Unless otherwise stated, the Korok amigurumi is worked in the round, and using a stitch marker and row counter is highly recommended. The finished plushie measures 6” tall by 5” wide.
HELPFUL TIP: If you’re having trouble with the stitch count, it is OK if it isn’t the same as the below pattern AS LONG as you use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round. Crochet in each stitch until the end of the round and don’t change a colour until the next round states to do so. You’ll notice that every round that has a colour change says “sc until the end of the round.” As long as one horn is smaller than the other, you’ll be OK. You can still follow the decreases and end up with the same result.

Leaf Edge:
After attaching the leaf to the body, you’ll sc the green yarn to the edge of the leaf and sc around the entire thing with your 3.25mm crochet hook. This will create a defined edge and make the leaf pop from the body. This is optional depending on the look you’re going for. If you need help, check out my TikTok video for reference!
Face:
Use a sheet of black felt to cut out the face. Hot glue the pieces to the leaf.
