The avocado tray and pin cushion keeps your yarn needles, pins, and stitch markers organized in one place. It can also give your crochet hook and scissors a temporary resting spot.

This is a no-sew crochet pattern. Combining two crocheted layers to build up the side gives the tray more of an avocado look and a sturdier feel.
