Free crochet avocado pattern: a Leggy Avocado amigurumi, about 9 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A dark green avocado half with a pale yellow-green face, a round brown pit belly, a gentle smile and pink cheeks sits leaning back on two very long thin legs in bright green sneakers. You need about 80 m of yarn: 50 m dark green, 10 m light green, 5 m lime green, 5 m white, 5 m brown and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. It makes a funny desk buddy or a gift for anyone who loves avocado toast. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern to get the long legs just right.
How to crochet the Leggy Avocado

- Size before assembly: about 7.7 cm at the widest, 8.7 cm long; 31 rounds.
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (moderately) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- A flat oval about 7.9 × 5.9 cm; 8 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
- With light green: ch 7.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- A flat circle about 3.1 cm across; 4 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Size before assembly: an oval about 3.2 × 2 cm at the widest, 13 cm long; 37 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs vertically, top to bottom; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
- With white: ch 5.
- Change to lime green (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
- Change to dark green (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R6).
- Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R12).
- Change to dark green (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R14).
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
- A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
