Squid Game Amigurumi – Free Crochet Pattern

“Welcome, player, to the crochet Squid Game! Here we play childhood games, but with a twist. One wrong misstep and you may not survive the game.

Pink soldiers are stationed about, watching your every step, making sure all the rules are followed, and making eliminations when necessary.

Players will compete while wearing green tracksuits until only one player remains. Winner takes the jackpot. Best of luck!”

Hey guys, I couldn’t help myself. This Squid Game TV show, so visually striking yet emotionally devastating, has inspired me to construct the characters in cute amigurumi form (help, I have an illness! :P).

So here is my free pattern for crochet Squid Game Amigurumi!

The Pink Soldiers wear jumpsuits with a hoodie that covers their entire body. On their face, they have a black mask. The shapes on their mask symbolize their ranking in the hierarchy. Circle, Triangle, and Square ranks from lowest to highest respectively.

Here’s also a crochet Squid Game soldier I created in red. I had the hardest time deciding which yarn color I wanted to use! Pink or Red, which do you prefer?

It was fun to pose with him for a selfie in a quick makeshift costume I made. You just need a red hoodie and 2 black facemasks, and you’re instantly a Squid Game Soldier. You just can’t see anything though! 😂

The crochet Squid Game Amigurumi Players all wear the green tracksuits which have white stripes on the side of the pants and on the arm sleeves. Here is our lead character, Player 456, Gi-hun.

Next up, is my favorite character, Player 067, Sae-byeok. Did you know her name means dawn in Korean? My favorite part about her design has to be her crochet hair! It took some tries to get it right, but I’m happy with the way she turned out.

If you look close, you’ll be able to see that the base body for both the Soldier and the Player are the same except in a different color combination. It’s black and pink for the soldier and green and white for the Player. As a set, it gives the dolls a cohesive look.

Happy crocheting! Love to see how your projects turn out and if you survived the crochet Squid Game! You can tag me with your projects on Instagram @ami_amour.

The Squid Game Amigurumi Player Body is the same pattern as SOLDIER BODY above, except instead of pink and black, we have the colors green and white instead. So go ahead and follow the SOLDIER BODY pattern, but use the colors green and white instead. For the belt section in the middle of the body, you will slip stitch around with green yarn. For my amigurumi project, I used this yarn color Jadeite for the green parts.

Check the comparisons of the body side by side. It is the same except with a different color combo.
