Small, sweet and gift-worthy, perfectly palm-sized with detailed charm.
A quick, rewarding make for an afternoon.
A lovely first amigurumi — just magic rings, increases and decreases.
A palm-sized avocado with a removable smiling pit — endlessly satisfying to make.
This little avocado is worked in two simple halves with a snug pocket that holds a smiling crocheted pit. It's a fast, beginner-friendly make that always raises a smile.
The removable pit makes it extra playful and a perfect pocket-sized gift.
I love how quick and joyful this one is — the smiley pit tucks right into the pocket and everyone who sees it wants one.
Make the pit a heart or a star instead of a circle for a different personality.
Add a tiny keyring loop to the top so your avocado can ride along on a bag or set of keys.
When I made this I finished it in an evening. The key is keeping the body softly stuffed — I overstuffed my first try and the pit wouldn't fit, so go gentle.
I tried a substitution: I made a worsted version on a 4 mm hook for a friend and it came out at a chunky 12 cm — equally adorable.

Stuff firmly, close, then embroider a smiley face.
Pop the smiley pit into its pocket and your little avocado is ready to share!
About 9 cm / 3.5 in tall in DK yarn on a 3 mm hook — a true pocket size.
Yes! The body is seamed to leave a pocket, and the firmly stuffed pit tucks neatly in and out.
Absolutely — if you can work a magic ring, increases and decreases, you can make this avocado.
Use worsted yarn and a 4 mm hook for a chunkier 12 cm avocado; the same instructions apply.
