Pattern
A. Avocado Half – Make 2 (1 Dark Green, 1 Light Green)
Row 1:
- With chosen color, make a slip knot, ch 6.
- Ch 1 extra (turning chain), do not crochet into this chain.
Row 2:
Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, work across foundation chain as follows:
- sc in first 2 sts,
- hdc in next st,
- dc in next 2 sts,
- In last ch, 6 dc (all into same st, this is the bottom curve).
Rotate to work on the other side of the chain:
- dc in next 2 sts,
- hdc in next st,
- sc in last 2 sts.
You have created a symmetrical oval.
Row 3:
(Continuing in the round. Place a stitch marker in first stitch of this round.)
- sc inc in first 2 sts (2 sc in each),
- hdc in next st,
- dc inc in next 2 sts (2 dc in each),
- In bottom section, 6 dc inc across 6 bottom dc (2 dc in each = 12 dc),
- dc inc in next 2 sts,
- hdc in next st,
- sc inc in last 2 sts.
Row 4: (Light green side ONLY, with color change)
- Switch to dark green yarn by joining at the last st of previous round.
- ch 1, then evenly sc around in each st (or as evenly as possible to match round shape – about 46-48 sts).
On the dark green side, repeat Row 3 in dark green. Omit Row 4 and finish off after last stitch.
B. Avocado Pit (Make 1, Brown)
- MR, ch 1.
- Work 12 hdc into ring.
- Pull tight, join with sl st to first hdc.
- FO, and either sew to center of light green half or glue.
C. Assembly
- If desired, attach/safety pin the pit to the center of the light green piece (or glue in place).
- Secure eyes and embroider mouth on the light green half as desired.
- Apply blush or pink shading with a small brush if you'd like.
- Stack the light green half (front) onto the dark green half (back), aligning edges.
Joining Halves:
- With remaining dark green yarn (from Row 4), join both halves using sl st through corresponding stitches of both layers all the way around.
- Before fully closing, lightly stuff with filling to desired plumpness.
- Finish closing with sl st; cut yarn and weave in end.
D. Finishing Touches
- For keychain: sew or attach the key ring at the top by threading yarn through and tying securely.
- Weave in any remaining ends. Use a yarn needle to hide yarn inside the body.
Conclusion
You have created a cute amigurumi avocado, perfect as a keychain or plush charm! Whether you include the “pit” or not, both versions are adorable and customizable. This pattern is quick, uses very little yarn, and is a good project for beginners.
Pattern Corrections & Tips
Correction: Adjust stitch counts as needed for a symmetrical, oval avocado shape based on your gauge.
- Tip 1: Use a stitch marker to help keep track of rounds and transitions.
- Tip 2: Be gentle when stuffing; overstuffing can distort the flat avocado shape.
- Tip 3: Use scrap felt or glue for simple eyes if you don’t have safety eyes.
- Tip 4: For extra cuteness, embroider a kawaii smile and add pink blush.
