Free crochet eggplant pattern: an Eggplant amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A plump purple eggplant with a green cap and stem, pink cheeks, wide black eyes and a small smile. It is beginner-friendly: one body worked in the round with plain sc, inc and dec, a green colour change near the top and a tiny stem. You need about 30 m of yarn: 20 m purple, 5 m green and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 1 hour. A cute desk buddy or kitchen decoration, and a fun gift for anyone who loves vegetables or cooking. Turn the 3D model around and follow the round-by-round pattern.
