About This Avocado family Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a pair of adorable avocado halves with removable seed, tiny arms and legs, and sweet facial details. Both halves are crocheted using the same base pattern with small variations for eyes and decoration. The seed is crocheted separately and fits snugly in one of the avocado halves. Detailed photos and step-by-step instructions help you through shaping, joining, and finishing.

The pattern uses cotton 8/4 yarn and a small hook to create a neat, firm stitch fabric. You will learn how to crochet the inside and outside parts and join them for a clean edge.

Why You'll Love This Avocado family Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a playful family of avocados full of character. I enjoy how the removable seed adds an interactive element, making each avocado feel like a tiny companion. The joining technique between the inside and outside pieces gives a professional finish that I am proud to share. I also appreciate that the pattern is versatile — you can personalize faces, colors, and expressions to make each avocado unique.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing these avocados by changing yarn colors and facial expressions; try pastel greens or speckled yarn for a unique look.

I often make a mini version by using thinner thread and a smaller hook for keychains and charms.

I like using different eye types — safety eyes, embroidered eyes, or tiny beads — to change the personality of each avocado.

Try making the seed larger or stuffing it more firmly to create a more pronounced, bouncy centre piece.

I sometimes embroider freckles, eyebrows, or tiny blush spots to add character and a handmade touch.

For a posable version, I add a short piece of craft wire to the arms and legs, wrapping it inside with a bit of stuffing for safety.

If you want a squishier avocado, switch to a softer, bulky yarn and a larger hook for a cuddlier toy.

I also make tiny clothing accessories like scarves or hats for seasonal variations — holiday colors make adorable gifts.

To make a set, I change the seed color and face to create a family of different ages and personalities, each with their own name.

Finally, I love to gift these with a small tag explaining the materials used and care instructions — it makes the handmade gift feel extra special.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the magic loop start can cause a loose center; always start with a magic loop to keep the center neat and adjustable. ✗ Not checking gauge will alter the final size and fit of the seed; measure 10 cm = 24 sc and change hook size if needed. ✗ Forgetting to stuff as you go results in lumps or uneven shape; add stuffing gradually while shaping for smooth results. ✗ Missing the back loop instruction for round 11 will change the edge profile; be sure to crochet round 11 in the back loop only where indicated. ✗ Cutting the yarn before completing the invisible finish makes the joining look messy; follow the invisible finish guide before cutting and weaving in ends.

— Avocado :

Info :

Both halves of the avocado are crocheted using the same pattern, the only difference is some details around the eyes. The seed is crocheted separately and can be taken out.

Info :

The avocado is made from three different parts: light green part/inside, dark green part/outside and arms/legs. The light green and dark green parts are crocheted separately, and then crocheted together along the edge at the end.

— Light green part/inside :

Info :

You will need two pieces of this part, one for each half of the avocado. You will only need light green yarn for this part. In the beginning you'll crochet a circle, then you crochet some chains, in which you crochet sc back to the circle, and then you continue to crochet in a spiral around these chains as well - there are pictures along the way. This piece is crocheted in a spiral. Start off with a magic loop.

Round 1 :

6 sc in ml (6)

Round 2 :

6 sc-inc (12)

Round 3 :

*1 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (18)

Round 4 :

*2 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (24)

Round 5 :

Info :

Note that all of round 11 is crocheted in the back loop only.

Round 11 :

*5 sc in the back loop only, 1 sc-inc in the back loop only* x6 (42)

Info :

In round 12 you'll make some chains going out from the circle, in which you will make single crochets back to the circle - I recommend crocheting in the 'bump' on the back of the chains (see picture on the right). When you come back to the circle, the first stitch is made in the SAME stitch as the last sc you made on the circle. In round 13 you have to crochet in the opposite side of these chains as normal stitches. From here on you can find pictures of each round on the next page.

Round 12 :

*6 sc, 1 sc-inc* x2, 7 sc, 8 ch, skip the next stitch, 7 sc in the chains, 1 sc in the same stitch as the last sc on the circle, *6 sc, 1 sc-inc* x3 (62 not counting the ch you skipped at the tip) - picture 1

Info :

Finish off by making a slip st in the next stitch, cut the yarn, pull the end through and make an invisible finish. You should now have two pieces that look like picture 6 below.

— Dark green part/outside :

Info :

You will need two pieces of this part, one for each half of the avocado. You will only need dark green yarn for this part. In the beginning you'll crochet a circle, then you crochet some chains, in which you crochet sc back to the circle, and then you continue to crochet in a spiral around these chains as well - there are pictures along the way and the pattern is almost the same as the light green part/inside. When this part is done, the inside and outside are crocheted together by continuing on this piece. This piece is crocheted in a spiral. Start off with a magic loop.

Round 1 :

6 sc in ml (6)

Round 2 :

6 sc-inc (12)

Round 3 :

*1 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (18)

Round 4 :

*2 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (24)

Round 6 :

*4 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (36)

Round 7 :

*5 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (42)

Info :

In round 8 you'll make some chains going out from the circle, in which you will make single crochets back to the circle - I recommend crocheting in the 'bump' on the back of the chains (see picture on the right). When you come back to the circle, the first stitch is made in the SAME stitch as the last sc you made on the circle. In round 9 you have to crochet in the opposite side of these chains as normal stitches. From here on you can find pictures of each round from 8-13 on the next page.

Round 8 :

*6 sc, 1 sc-inc* x2, 7 sc, 8 ch, skip the next stitch, 7 sc in the chains, 1 sc in the same stitch as the last sc on the circle, *6 sc, 1 sc-inc* x3 (62 not counting the ch you skipped at the tip) - picture 1

Round 10 :

*8 sc, 1 sc-inc* x2, 5 sc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc-dec, 1 hdc, 5 sc, 3 sc-inc, 5 sc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc-dec, 1 hdc, 6 sc, 1 sc-inc, *8 sc, 1 sc-inc* x2 (75) - picture 3

Round 13 :

5 sc, 1 sc-inc, 11 sc, 1 sc-inc, 20 sc, 1 sc-inc, 4 sc, 1 sc-inc, 20 sc, 1 sc-inc, 11 sc, 1 sc-inc, 8 sc (91) - picture 6

Round 14-18 :

sc all the way around (91) = 5 rounds

Info :

Finish off by making a slip st, do NOT cut the yarn, you have to continue crocheting the two pieces together, you'll find a guide for this on the next page.

Item Name (P1) :

Put the inside and outside part up against each other, so the last 4 single crochets on each part overlap, as shown on the picture above. Insert the hook through the first of the 4 stitches - the hook should be inserted through the back loop only of the inside part and both loops of the stitch on the outside part. Make a normal sc, continue making sc all the way around, always inserting the hook through the back loop of the inside part and both loops of the outside part. Add stuffing as you make your way around. Make sure the hole for the seed stays down.

Item Name (P2) :

TIP: On the pictures the invisible finish has not been made yet to make it easier to see where the last 4 stitches are. I recommend making an invisible finish, as this gives the best result - you can follow the guide for an invisible finish shown on the next page.

Item Name (P3) :

When you have crocheted the two pieces together all the way around, you can finish off by making an invisible finish. Cut the yarn, pull the tail all the way through and put a needle on the tail. Pull the needle through the very first stitch you made from the inside part through to the outside part. Now pull the needle through the back loop only of the last stitch you made, going from the middle of the stitch through to the outside part. Tighten it just enough to make it look like a regular stitch, then all there is left to do, is to weave in the end.

— Arms/legs :

Info :

Now you only need arms and legs for the avocados, all are made from the same pattern. You will need 8 pcs of this part - 4 pcs for each half of the avocado. They are all crocheted using dark green yarn. This part is crocheted in a spiral. Start off with a magic loop.

Round 1 :

6 sc in ml (6)

Round 2-4 :

sc all the way around (6) = 3 round

Info :

Finish off by cutting the yarn and pull the tail through. You should now have a total of 8 arms/legs, 4 for each avocado. Now you have to sew on the arms and legs, this is the same for both halves of the avocado. To make sure everything is placed where you like it, it can be a good idea to attach them with pins first (picture on the right).

Info :

The arms are placed so that the upper edge is just a little bit below the mouth. The legs are placed so that the outside edge of the legs are just a little bit closer to the center than the outside edge of the avocado itself. The arms and legs should be approximately aligned above each other.

Info :

When the arms and legs are attached, you should have two avocados like the pictures on the right. The avocado itself is now finished, and all that is left is the seed!

— Seed :

Info :

The seed is only made from light brown yarn. The seed is crocheted from top to bottom. You will need 1 piece of this part. This part is crocheted in a spiral. Start off with a magic loop.

Round 1 :

6 sc in ml (6)

Round 2 :

6 sc-inc (12)

Round 3 :

*1 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (18)

Round 4 :

*2 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (24)

Round 5 :

*3 sc, 1 sc-inc* x6 (30)

Round 6 :

*9 sc, 1 sc-inc* x3 (33)

Round 7-8 :

sc all the way around (33)

Info :

In round 9 you'll be making holes for the safety eyes, if you don't want to use safety eyes, you can make a sc instead of the hole. In round 10 you have to crochet in the holes as normal stitches.

Round 9 :

13 sc, 1 ch, skip the next stitch, 4 sc, 1 ch, skip the next stitch, 14 sc (33 incl ch)

Round 10-11 :

sc all the way around (33)

Info :

Insert and secure the safety eyes (6 mm) in the holes from round 9, and add stuffing. You might need to add more stuffing as the hole gets smaller.

Round 12 :

*9 sc, 1 sc-dec* x3 (30)

Round 13 :

*3 sc, 1 sc-dec* x6 (24)

Round 14 :

*2 sc, 1 sc-dec* x6 (18)

Round 15 :

*1 sc, 1 sc-dec* x6 (12)

Round 16 :

6 sc-dec (6)

Info :

Finish off by cutting the yarn, pull the end through and sew the hole together so it closes. Where you started/round 1 is the top of the seed. Sew on small, light pink cheeks right underneath the outside of each eye. Sew on a little smiling mouth, for this I also used cotton 8/4, but I split the yarn into two, and used that to make the mouth to make it thinner. The mouth is placed on the round just below the eyes. You can now put the seed in the avocado!

Info :

Your Avocado Family is now finished!

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert and secure the safety eyes (10 mm) into the avocado halves where the pattern photos indicate, then embroider the mouth and eyelashes using black yarn as desired.
  • Place the inside and outside parts together so the last 4 single crochets overlap, then crochet through the back loop of the inside part and both loops of the outside part to join, adding stuffing as you go.
  • Sew on arms and legs with the upper edge of the arms positioned just below the mouth and legs positioned slightly closer to center than the avocado edge, pin before sewing for symmetry.
  • Insert and secure the safety eyes (6 mm) into the seed holes from round 9, stuff the seed, close the opening by sewing, and place the finished seed into the avocado cavity.
  • Finish edges with an invisible finish after joining both halves, pull the tail through the first stitch, tighten gently and weave in ends for a neat look.

Important Notes

  • 💡Check your crochet gauge: 10 cm = 24 single crochet stitches; change hook size if your gauge differs.
  • 💡Work in continuous spiral rounds (no joining) unless otherwise noted to maintain a smooth surface.
  • 💡Stuff gradually and evenly while joining the inside and outside parts to avoid lumps and to keep the seed hole open.
  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds and important placement points for eyes and limbs.
  • 💡Complete the invisible finish as shown to secure the edge and achieve a professional look before weaving in ends.

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The finished avocado measures roughly the size shown in the photos when using cotton 8/4 yarn and a 2.0-2.5 mm hook; exact size varies by tension.

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, you can, but changing yarn weight and hook size will alter the finished size and may require adjusting stuffing and eye sizes.

Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?

This pattern is rated intermediate; familiarity with single crochet, increases, decreases, working in the round, and back loop stitches is recommended.

How long does this project typically take to complete?

Most crocheters complete this project in 5-7 hours, depending on experience and whether you make one or both avocados and add extra details.

Where do I place the safety eyes and how do I make eye holes?

Insert 10 mm safety eyes into the avocado halves after round 6-11 as shown in photos; for the seed use the holes made in round 9 and secure eyes before stuffing.
