The manwha, Refund High School, left such a huge impact on me when I was in middle school and I especially loved Mook Lee.
I’ve always wanted to make something of him so here’s this pattern!
Also now in hindsight, I do think adding the white felt on his shirt made him look a bit neater but now he also looks like a founding father :sob:
sc= single crochet
Also before I begin this pattern, I'd like to mention that a lot of my inspiration and tips I've learned comes from atlastnicole on Youtube so you should definitely check them out! ('w')
