  • Stuffing (polyester fiberfill)
  • Round Rattle (optional, to place inside the seed for a fun sound!)
  • Yarn Needle (for sewing parts together and weaving in ends)
  • Scissors
  • Stitch Marker (essential for keeping track of your rounds in amigurumi!)

  • inc: Increase (make 2 single crochets in the same stitch)
  • dec: Decrease (single crochet 2 together, also known as sc2tog)
  • MR: Magic Ring (also called Magic Circle)
  • ch: Chain
  • sl st: Slip Stitch
  • FLO: Front Loops Only (insert hook into the front loop of the stitch only)
  • (X) x Y: Repeat the instructions inside the parentheses Y times

Part 1: The Front Avocado Half (Pulp & Seed)

We’ll begin with the brown seed, then transition to the creamy yellow pulp.

Seed (Brown Yarn)

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6 stitches)
  2. Round 2: 6 inc (12 stitches)
  3. Round 3: (1 sc, inc) x6 (18 stitches)

Pulp (Cream-Yellow Yarn)

Switch to your cream-yellow yarn for the juicy pulp section.

  3. Round 10: (10 sc, inc) x4, then 22 sc (66 stitches)
  4. Row 11: 7 sc, ch 1, turn. (7 stitches) This starts shaping the opening for the avocado half.

Shaping the Front Opening (Turning Rows)

These rows create the curved top edge of your avocado half.

  1. Row 12: 14 sc, ch 1, turn. (14 stitches)
  2. Row 13: Dec, 10 sc, dec, ch 1, turn. (12 stitches)

  6. Row 17: Dec, 4 sc, dec. (6 stitches)
  7. Rows 18-19: Ch 1, 6 sc. (6 stitches)

Edging the Front Half

Now, we’ll crochet around the entire perimeter of this piece to create a neat, finished edge. Be sure to make increases at the corners to maintain a smooth curve.

  1. Starting in the same stitch, make 1 sc.
  2. Then, work 6 sc.
  3. Make an inc at the first corner.
  4. Work 57 sc along the long curved edge.
  5. Make an inc at the second corner.
  6. Work 6 sc.
  7. Make an inc at the third corner.
  8. Work 5 sc.
  9. Finish with a sl st to join.

You should now have a total of 82 single crochet stitches around the entire edge.

Part 3: Assembling Your Avocado

This is where your avocado really starts to take shape! We’ll join the two halves and add the stem.

Joining and Stuffing

  1. Carefully align the front (pulp/seed) part with the back (skin) part, making sure the edges match up.
  2. Using single crochet (sc), begin to join both parts together. Insert your hook through a stitch on the front piece AND the corresponding stitch on the back piece, then complete a single crochet.
  3. Stuffing Tip: As you join, gradually add your polyester fiberfill stuffing. Make sure to stuff firmly but evenly, shaping the avocado as you go.
  4. If you are including a round rattle, place it directly inside the brown seed area. It’s best not to add stuffing underneath the rattle; simply place it in the seed cavity and then fill the rest of the avocado body around it.
  5. Continue joining and stuffing until the avocado is firm and fully formed. Finish joining all stitches, then fasten off and weave in any loose ends securely.

Stem (Brown Yarn)

The stem adds a charming, realistic detail to your avocado.

  1. Join your brown yarn to the top opening of the avocado (where the turning rows for both halves met).
  2. Crochet 5 sc into the edge, forming a small ring for the stem base.
  3. Rows 2-9: Ch 1, turn. Make 1 sc in each of the 5 stitches across. (5 stitches per row)
  4. Feel free to adjust the length: crochet more or fewer rows as needed to achieve your desired stem length.
  5. Fasten off and carefully weave in ends.

Part 4: The Avocado Leaf

Complete your avocado with a sweet little leaf!

Leaf (Green Yarn)

  1. Round 1: 4 sc in MR (4 stitches)
  2. Round 2: 4 sc (4 stitches)
  3. Round 3: 1 inc, 3 sc (5 stitches)
  4. Round 4: 1 inc, 4 sc (6 stitches)
  5. Round 5: (1 sc, inc) x3 (9 stitches)
  6. Round 6: 9 sc (9 stitches)
  7. Round 7: (2 sc, inc) x3 (12 stitches)
  8. Round 8: 12 sc (12 stitches)
  9. Round 9: (3 sc, inc) x3 (15 stitches)
  10. Rounds 10-11: 15 sc (15 stitches)
  11. Round 12: (4 sc, inc) x3 (18 stitches)
  12. Rounds 13-14: 18 sc (18 stitches)
  13. Round 15: (2 sc, inc) x6 (24 stitches)
  14. Rounds 16-20: 24 sc (24 stitches)
  15. Round 21: (2 sc, dec) x6 (18 stitches)
  16. Rounds 22-23: 18 sc (18 stitches)
  17. Round 24: (4 sc, dec) x3 (15 stitches)
  18. Round 25: 15 sc (15 stitches)
  19. Round 26: (3 sc, dec) x3 (12 stitches) This reduces your stitches for shaping.
  20. Round 27: 6 dec (6 stitches)

Finishing the Leaf Point

This method creates a neat, flat point for your leaf.

  1. Row 28: Flatten the opening (6 stitches) and make 3 sc through both layers of stitches, ch 1, turn. (3 stitches)
  2. Row 29: 3 sc back into the 3 stitches just made. (3 stitches)
  3. Row 30: 2 sc, ch 1, turn. (2 stitches) This reduces to 2 stitches, likely by skipping the last stitch or decreasing one.
  4. Row 31: 2 sc. (2 stitches)

Attaching the Leaf

Sew the finished leaf onto your avocado. A great spot is at the “shoulder” of the avocado, next to where the stem is attached.
