About this pattern

A cute eggplant with a smiling face, standing on its round end. The fruit is dark purple with one streak of lighter violet down its upper left, under a green cap in two greens with pointed sepals and a short upright stalk. Low on the bulb are two white eyes, a small white smile and a pink cheek on each side. The left side mirrors the right in shape. Dark brown outline. A small piece for a gift tag, a magnet or the corner of a kitchen towel. Full crosses only. It is 21 by 37 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

21 stitches wide by 37 high: 539 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Very Dark Violet 550, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989 and 4 more).
