What does amigurumi means?
The word Amigurumi comes from Japanese. The Japanese call handicrafts knitted with crochet and needle as Ami. The Japanese call the toys that are filled with objects such as fibers or cotton as Nuigurumi. The word Amigurumi is derived as a combination of these two words.
Amigurumi knitting techniques are very easy. You can find many handcrafts prepared with these techniques on my site. What is Amigurumi for beginners in Amigurumi handwork? How to knit amigurumi?

Tips before knitting
Mr. Avocado is knitted from 100% acrylic yarn.
I used two types of yarn of the same yardage (100gr/200m): KATIA “PLANET” and VERTO DI ROMA “VINIA”.
You can use yarn however you like.
For knitting Mr. Avocado pattern for this MK, I used the following colors:
Light yellow
Brown
Light green
Dark green
White
(VERTO DI ROMA “VINIA” – Color code: V14)
(VERTO DI ROMA “VINIA” – Color code: V70)
(KATIA “PLANET” – Color code: 3966)
(KATIA “PLANET” – Color code: 3980)
(KATIA “PLANET” – Color code: 3951)
Work tight with a smaller size crochet hook than recommended for your yarn. I used a #3.25mm hook.
Mister Avocado measures approximately 22 cm.
In MK, three methods of crocheting are used: in rows, in a circle and in a spiral.
Use a marker when knitting in a spiral

After the 4th row, we do not cut the thread, we continue knitting – connect two fingers together.
Thread the tail of the thread that remained on the first finger into the needle and sew between themselves the 6th and 7th columns of the 2nd finger and the 1st and 2nd columns of the first finger. Fasten and hide the thread inside the fingers (see photos and drawings).
Before continuing, let’s check if we did everything right:
You should have four “free” stobs on the first finger and ten “free”
NOTE. Look carefully which of the “free” columns will be used later, and don’t confuse them with connected stitches. We continue:
5: 14 sc – 5 sc (finger 2) + 4 sc (finger 1) + 5 sc (finger 2) (14)
6: 14 sc – fill both fingers (14)

NOTE. When tightening the amigurumi ring, do not pull too hard. strongly, since through the central hole we will later insert the eye.
To change the yarn to light yellow, we knit the last ss with a new one color and work 2 more rows (see instructions on next page):
. 4-5: 18 sbn, sl-st in the 1st sbn – 2 rows (18)
Attach the bone to tummy.
We fix with pins and sew in a circle with a “back needle” seam or any in another way convenient for you. Not reaching 5-6 stitches before the end of the circle, bruise the bone a little. Sew up. Fasten the thread from the wrong side with a pair nodules.
