Valentine’s Day is coming up, and instead of making something that’s tacky and pink, I decided to have a little fun and make something that gets people blushing.

Free Eggplant Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

I mean, eating healthy is super sexy, right? So we’ll just leave it at that 😉 lol.

This plush measures to about 6.5 inches long. But I mean, the size doesn’t really matter, it’s how you use it that counts, amiright?

The difficulty level of this pattern is Easy and this pattern is written in US crochet terminology.
