Young-Hee, whom we know from the series Squid Game, can now be made into an amigurumi crochet doll. Here’s a great amigurumi doll pattern you can give as a gift to Squid Game enthusiasts. I wanted to start the weekend with a wonderful amigurumi pattern. You can make this Young-Hee character in two different dresses: orange or red. If you’re making her in a red dress, many of the details will be red. She’ll also look adorable with the flower details on her legs. I think you’ll want to make both. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to crochet Young-Hee, the character from the popular TV series Squid Game.
