Crochet Avocado Toy Pattern

In this section, I will walk you through the crochet pattern for creating a cute amigurumi avocado toy. By following the step-by-step instructions and using the accompanying images, you’ll be able to handcraft your very own avocado in no time.

Materials You’ll Need

To begin your crochet avocado project, gather the following materials:

• Size G (4.0 mm) crochet hook
• Worsted weight yarn in green and brown
• Stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Creating the Avocado Body

Start by crocheting the avocado body using the green yarn. Begin with a magic ring and single crochet 6 stitches into the ring. Then, increase each stitch to end up with 12 stitches in the first round. Continue crocheting in the round, increasing the stitch count every few rounds to create a spherical shape. Remember to stuff the avocado as you go, ensuring it’s firm but not overfilled.

Forming the Avocado Pit

Next, switch to the brown yarn to crochet the avocado pit. Working in the round, single crochet 6 stitches into a magic ring. Increase the stitch count in the following rounds until the pit is about half the size of the avocado body. Stuff the pit lightly to maintain its shape.

Attaching the Pit to the Body

Once both the body and pit are complete, it’s time to attach them. Position the pit on the top center of the avocado body and use a yarn needle to stitch it securely in place. Make sure the pit is centered and sits snugly on the avocado.

Crocheting the Avocado Stem

Finally, crochet the stem using the brown yarn. Create a chain of about 5 to 7 stitches, depending on the desired length. Then, single crochet back along the chain, creating a compact stem. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
