Prepare yourself for summer with this 3D watermelon slice amigurumi, following this free and complete written pattern. This watermelon pattern is simple and lets you crochet a medium-sized watermelon using thin yarn and without sewing. You will need neat color-changes and basic embroidery for the seeds.
It requires the standard oval base for the beginning. You can crochet one along with the other fruits I have shown patterns of. That is an avocado, a pear, and more. I will share both the UK and US patterns here.
The designer behind this avocado keychain is Ngọc Thanh Handmade – she has quite a good grasp on kawaii amigurumi designing with added cuteness and surprises.
