Free eggplant amigurumi crochet pattern

 

This week I have a free eggplant amigurumi crochet pattern for you! I’ve been wanting to make an eggplant for a few months, and it was hard to find the perfect shade of purple. I was originally going to use a dark shade, but ended up using this lavender shade. This pattern is really easy to make, and goes pretty quick too! I had a lot of fun making the leaf part, and it was really easy to sew those on. If you’re not the best as sewing – no worries! I have a tutorial in the pattern showing you exactly how to sew on the leaves.

I would love to start making even more vegetables, let me know if you have any suggestions! Up next I’m thinking corn or tomatoes would be cute. Eventually I need to make an onion pattern too 🙂 Have fun with this pattern, and as always, feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions!
