Avocado Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Important: If you are making the avocado without a pit, leave a long yarn tail when you begin Round 1. At the end, tie the starting tail to the finishing tail to secure the indented section of the avocado. You will need to hold this strand in place as you stuff the avocado.

Follow the written instructions and photos below. Stuff the piece gradually as you crochet. Begin with brown yarn (for an avocado with a pit) or light green yarn (for one without a pit):

1. Ch 2, work 6 sc into the first ch (6)
2. Inc x 6 (12)
3. (Sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4. (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
5-7. 24 sc for 3 rounds (24)
Switch to light green yarn:
8. (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
9. 3 sc, 3 dc inc, 3 sc, inc, (4 sc, inc) x 4 (38)
10. 3 sc, (dc, dc inc) x 3, dc, 3 sc, inc, (5 sc, inc) x 4 (46). Insert the eyes into the first and third increases, leaving 4 stitches between them.
11. 4 sc, dc, dc inc, (2 dc, dc inc) x 2, dc, 4 sc, (ch 6, starting in the second ch from the hook, work 1 sc in each ch (5)—arm), 8 sc, (ch 6, starting in the second ch from the hook, work 1 sc in each ch (5)—leg), 12 sc, (ch 6, starting in the second ch from the hook, work 1 sc in each ch (5)—leg), 8 sc, (ch 6, starting in the second ch from the hook, work 1 sc in each ch (5)—arm), sc (49) + work 18 additional sc, sl st, and mark the beginning of the round.

Work all stitches through the front loop only. For the arms and legs, simply work sc into each stitch from the wrong side.

Switch to green yarn:

12. 49 sc + 4 sc (in the arm and leg stitches) = 53 sc. Work all stitches through the front loop only (53)
13. 53 sc, working into the base of each stitch (53)
14-15. 53 sc for 2 rounds (53)
16. Dec, 7 sc, dec, 10 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec, 5 sc, (2 sc, dec) x 2, sc, dec, 5 sc (46)
17. 46 sc (46)
18. Dec, (5 sc, dec) x 4, 4 sc, (sc, dec) x 3, 3 sc (38)
19. Dec, (4 sc, dec) x 4, 3 sc, 3 dec, 3 sc (30)
