About This Avocado family Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern teaches you how to crochet a matching pair of avocado halves and a removable seed with sweet facial details. You will crochet inner and outer halves, join them, and add arms and legs for personality. The pattern uses cotton 8/4 yarn and small hooks for a neat finish.

Complete round-by-round instructions and photo guidance are included to help you at each stage. The seed is crocheted separately and fits inside the avocado for a playful removable detail.

Why You'll Love This Avocado family Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms a simple shape into a character full of personality and charm. I enjoyed designing the removable seed so each avocado becomes interactive and playful. I love how the small details — eyelashes, tiny cheeks, and the dark outer edge — give so much personality with minimal effort. Working this pattern feels rewarding: you can see progress quickly yet still practice shaping and joining techniques.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this Avocado Family by changing yarn colors — try pastel greens for a softer look or bright neons for a playful set.

If you want a larger avocado, use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook; you will keep the same stitch instructions to scale up the size.

To create tiny keychain avocados, use finer crochet cotton and a smaller hook, and attach a keyring through a loop at the top.

I often add tiny accessories like crocheted bows, hats, or scarves to give each avocado its own personality and make them gift-ready.

Try embroidering different facial expressions to change the mood — a tilted mouth or different eye spacing makes a big difference.

For a posable version, consider inserting thin wire into the arms and legs before stuffing, which helps the little avocado pose on a shelf.

I sometimes make a family set by varying the seed color and face details so each avocado has a unique look and character.

Want to make them washable? Use cotton yarn and secure all ends well; avoid glued eyes — embroider eyes instead for machine washing safety.

You can add a small felt pocket inside to hold a removable seed if you want to make it extra secure and decorative.

Experiment with textured stitches on the outer edge to create a more rustic skin, or use surface crochet to add tiny markings for a realistic touch.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the back-loop instruction on round 11 can change the shape; follow the note and crochet round 11 in the back loop only to keep the correct profile. ✗ Not making the chains and crocheting around them correctly in round 12 will distort the tip; work the chains and crochet back to the circle in the bump on the back of the chains as instructed. ✗ Forgetting to not cut the yarn on the outside part will prevent you from joining pieces together; do NOT cut the yarn after finishing the outside part so you can continue crocheting the two pieces together. ✗ Adding stuffing too early or too late can make sealing difficult; add stuffing gradually while joining the inside and outside, ensuring the seed hole stays down as you work. ✗ Placing arms and legs without pinning first can lead to uneven alignment; pin pieces in place and check symmetry before sewing them securely.

— 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.

Info :

This piece is crocheted in a spiral. Start off with a magic loop.

Round 1 :

6 sc in ml (6)

Round 2 :

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 :

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.

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

— 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.

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 :

Infos :

When you have crocheted both the inside and outside parts, you can crochet them together.

Item Name (P1) :

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 (it is shown on the finishing of the edge, but the method is the same)

Item Name (P2) :

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.

Item Name (P3) :

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.

Infos :

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 on the left. When you have done this for both halves, you should have two avocados like the pictures below.

Item Name (P4) :

1: 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.

Item Name (P5) :

2: 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.

Item Name (P6) :

3: 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.

Info :

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.

Info :

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! Your Avocado Family is now finished!

Assembly Instructions

  • Put the inside and outside parts together so the last 4 single crochets overlap, then insert the hook through the back loop of the inside part and both loops of the outside part to join by single crochet all the way around.
  • Insert and secure the 10 mm safety eyes in the outer avocado halves and the 6 mm safety eyes in the seed (if using), then embroider mouth, cheeks and eyelashes with black and light pink yarn as shown.
  • Sew arms and legs onto each half using the tail ends; place arms just below the mouth and legs slightly closer to the center than the outside edge, pinning before sewing to check alignment.
  • Add stuffing gradually while joining the inside and outside, making sure the hole for the seed stays down and the shape remains smooth.
  • Finish the join with an invisible finish: pull the tail through the first stitch, pass the needle through the back loop only of the last stitch, tighten gently and weave in the end.

Important Notes

  • 💡Do NOT cut the yarn after finishing the outside piece — you must continue crocheting to join the inside and outside together.
  • 💡Use pins to position arms and legs before sewing to ensure symmetry and even placement.
  • 💡Add stuffing gradually while you crochet the pieces together so the shape is smooth and the seed hole remains correctly positioned.
  • 💡Work round 11 on the inside piece in the back loop only as instructed to keep the correct shape for the avocado edge.

This Avocado Family pattern is full of personality and small details to make each piece feel handmade and special. Whether you give them as a gift or keep them as a cute decor set, they bring a little smile to any shelf or nursery. Have fun personalizing the faces and colors — happy crocheting! 🧶😊

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The finished avocado halves measure approximately 10-12 cm tall when using cotton 8/4 yarn and a 2.0-2.5 mm hook, though final size depends on yarn and tension.

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, you can use different yarn weights, but this will change the final size and stitch counts; adjust your hook size and check gauge if you switch yarn.

Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?

This pattern is rated intermediate and assumes familiarity with single crochet, increases, decreases, back-loop work, and working in the round.

Are safety eyes required or can I embroider the eyes?

You can use safety eyes (10 mm for the avocado, 6 mm for the seed) or embroider the eyes instead; the pattern notes both options and how to make holes if using safety eyes.
