Advent 2023 Ornament #3: Avocado with a Heart Pit

Hello Knitters! Only scroll down if you want to see the FINISHED ornament in the colors of the Advent calendar. Sometimes you can’t visualize the toy you’re knitting and need to see the finished product, so here it is!  There are tutorial pictures in the pattern in black and white only not to spoil the surprise. You can place the face wherever you want.  I thought this eye/cheek placement was adorable, but you can make yours how you want!
