About This Avocado family Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a pair of avocado halves with a removable seed — a sweet little amigurumi set that can be used as decor or a gift. The design uses standard cotton 8/4 yarn and small hooks to create a neat, firm finish and detailed shaping. Both halves are crocheted separately (inside and outside) and then crocheted together around the edge. The seed is made separately and fits inside the avocado for a removable, interactive element.

The pattern includes clear, photo-supported rounds for every piece: inside, outside, arms/legs, and the seed. You will also find assembly notes for attaching eyes, sewing limbs, and finishing the edge for a professional look.

Why You'll Love This Avocado family Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple crochet rounds into a playful little family with personality. I enjoy how the removable seed adds an interactive element that kids and gift recipients adore. The shaping gives a cute, recognizable avocado silhouette while staying approachable to intermediate crocheters. It combines small, fast pieces into a satisfying project that you can finish in a weekend.

Switch Things Up

I love changing the colors to create a whole avocado family: try pastel greens, autumn tones, or even rainbow colors for a whimsical look.

I often switch yarn weight and hook size to make mini keychain versions or jumbo cuddle avocados; just remember to check gauge for fit.

I add embroidery variations to the face—different smiles, winking eyes, or tiny freckles—to give each avocado its own personality.

Try making the seed permanently attached with a few stitches for a toddler-safe toy, or keep it removable for interactive play.

I sometimes use safety eyes for a polished look, but embroidering eyes gives a softer, child-friendly finish that I prefer for baby gifts.

To make the avocado poseable, I add a thin wire inside the limbs for gentle shaping and display options.

I like to create matching sets by making avocado-themed accessories like small blankets, coasters, or a tiny pit basket for storage.

Experiment with textured stitches on the outside (dark green) to create a bumpy skin effect for a realistic touch.

I recommend adding blush with a tiny dab of pink yarn or fabric paint under the eyes to enhance cuteness and charm.

If you want a wearable version, attach a loop or keyring to the top and make it into a cute bag charm or zipper pull.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the instruction to crochet round 11 in the back loop only; make sure to work round 11 in the back loop as noted to create the correct ridge and shape. ✗ Not making the chains and returning single crochets properly at the tip area; follow the chain instructions carefully and crochet into the ‘bump’ of the chain when asked to ensure a neat tip. ✗ Overstuffing the avocado halves before closing the edge causes bulging and mis-shaping; add stuffing gradually as you crochet the two pieces together for an even shape. ✗ Placing safety eyes without measuring can misalign the face and expression; insert and secure safety eyes where indicated in the pictures and check symmetry before fastening the washers.

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.

— Joining inside and outside :

Step 1 :

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

Step 2 :

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. NOTE: You are going to crochet in the opposite direction than you did on the outside part and the 'right' direction on the inside part.

Step 3 :

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. TIP: When you get to the slip st and invisible finish on the inside part, insert the hook through the back loop only as a normal stitch to get the best result.

Info :

When you have crocheted the two pieces together all the way around, you can finish off by making an invisible finish, as shown on the pictures. When you have done this for both halves, you should have two avocados like the pictures below.

Step 1 (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, as shown above.

Step 2 (invisible finish) :

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.

Step 3 (invisible finish) :

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.

Info :

Insert and secure the safety eyes (10 mm), and embroider the details on the faces. Both avocados have a tiny light pink cheek right beneath the outside of the eyes, like on the pictures. Both avocados also have a small, happy mouth, and one of the avocados also have eyelashes on the outside of each eye - mouth and eyelashes are made with black yarn.

— 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; to make sure everything is placed where you like it, it can be a good idea to attach them with pins first.

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.

— 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. Where you started/round 1 is the top of the seed.

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. Sew on small, light pink cheeks right underneath the outside of each eye. Sew on a little smiling mouth; for this split the cotton yarn into two strands to make a thinner mouth and place it on the round just below the eyes. You can now put the seed in the avocado!

— Finishing and final assembly :

Info :

Sew arms and legs in position with yarn needle and secure ends. Embroider mouth and eyelashes as desired with black yarn. Weave in all ends and make sure the seed fits and tucks down into the avocado cavity. Your Avocado Family is now finished!

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert and secure the safety eyes (10 mm) into the avocado halves and embroider facial details before sewing pieces together if preferred for easier access.
  • Sew inside and outside parts together by aligning the last 4 single crochets to overlap, then single crochet through the back loop of the inside and both loops of the outside, adding stuffing as you go.
  • Attach arms so the upper edge sits just below the mouth and attach legs so the outside edge is slightly closer to the center than the outside edge of the avocado; pin positions first to ensure symmetry.
  • Insert and secure 6 mm safety eyes into the seed in the holes made at round 9, stuff, close the hole and sew the seed into the avocado cavity or place it loose for a removable seed.

Important Notes

  • 💡Check your gauge: 10 cm = 24 stitches in single crochet; adjust hook if your stitch count differs to achieve the correct size.
  • 💡Stuff gradually as you crochet the two pieces together so the shape stays smooth and the seed hole remains open at the tip.
  • 💡Pin parts in place before sewing to ensure correct placement and symmetry of arms, legs and facial features.
  • 💡When joining the inside and outside parts, work the back loop of the inside part and both loops of the outside part to get a neat edge and strong seam.

This adorable Avocado Family pattern is perfect for gifts, decor, and playful little projects that warm the heart. 🥑 Make two halves and a removable seed to create a sweet set with personality and charm. 💚 Have fun, add your own facial details, and enjoy the smiles your handmade avocados will bring! ✨
