Smiling Avocado Pillow Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 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.
