 Smiling Avocado Pillow 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of  Posh Pooch Designs

I Hope This Silly Pillow 

Makes you Smile.

Remember to Smile, 

It will make people wonder

 what your up to!

I had been planning This Avocado Pillow Crochet Pattern,

 but had not pinned down the personality of the pillow.

  I received this Valentine from my granddaughter,

And That was it. It had to be a happy Smiling Avocado!

It is so happy and fun, I just had to design one.

The granddaughters love Squishy pillows, 

so it needed to be soft and squishy.

I think it is Adorable!

Rosie Approves!

It measures about 12.5 inches tall and about 9 inches

 at the widest part of the pillow. The perfect size for hugging.

It will stitch up quickly because it is designed using 

 chunky (5) yarns and a 6.5 mm crochet hook.

The Smile and Eyes are up to you.

 You can crochet them and stitch them on. 

You can use safety eyes, felt eyes and embroider 

them on.

I do not recommend safety eyes if 

you are going to give

 this to a small child who might pull 

or chew on them.

You do what works best for you.
