About this pattern

An eggplant plant growing in a terracotta pot. A straight dark green stem rises from the pot to an upright leaf at the top, with a larger leaf out to the right just below it and a smaller leaf low on the left. Two stalks curve over from the stem, one high on the left and one lower on the right, and a purple eggplant hangs from each, with a pale green cap and a streak of lighter violet down its left side. The pot has a wide rim, a band of light along its top and a darker right side. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 34 by 62 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

34 stitches wide by 62 high: 1,061 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Violet 550, Forest Green 989 and 5 more).
