Squid Game Soldier Keychain Crochet Pattern

About the Pattern

This pattern creates a miniature Squid Game soldier keychain, known for its distinctive mask and hood. Each section—legs, body, head, hood, and arms—is made separately and carefully joined, giving the design dimensional accuracy. The uniform color changes and minimal facial embroidery capture the instantly recognizable look of the show’s guards in a compact, keychain-friendly size.

Pattern at a Glance

• Construction: Legs and body are made as separate parts and then joined in continuous rounds, with clear color changes for the uniform and mask. The head is shaped and closed, while the hood and arms are created individually and sewn into place. A keychain loop and mask symbol complete the character.
• Details: Straightforward increases and decreases provide shaping. Embroidery delivers the essential mask motif.

Important Notes

• Work seamless rounds unless otherwise specified, and always use a stitch marker for the beginning of rounds.
• Color changes must be made neatly on the last pull-through of the previous stitch to ensure a crisp transition.
• Keep stuffing to a moderate amount for proportional shaping and portable size.
• The mask shape (square, circle, or triangle) is embroidered with thin white yarn or floss.

Difficulty Level

• Confident Beginner to Intermediate: Familiarity with magic ring, single crochet, increasing, decreasing, color changes, and basic hand sewing is required.

Supplies Needed

• Red, black, and white yarn (DK or worsted; cotton or acrylic)
• Crochet hook (3-3.5 mm or size for tight stitches)
• Polyester fiberfill for stuffing
• Yarn needle (for assembly and embroidery)
• Small scissors
• Stitch marker
• Keychain hardware or split ring

Size & Measurements

• Finished figure: Approximately 8-10 cm tall, excluding loop
• Hood sits loosely around the head, adding to the miniature’s visual appeal

Gauge & Stitch Details

• Gauge is not critical but stitches should be tight to keep stuffing contained
• Sample gauge: 24 sc x 26 rows = 10 cm² with DK yarn and 3.5 mm hook (not stretched)
• All pieces are worked in the round unless specified

Special Stitch Guide
