00:00:00,106 --> 00:00:02,669
(upbeat music)

00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:04,240
- Hi, it's Twinkie.

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,410
While the eggplant isn't my
favorite vegetable to eat,

4
00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:09,830
I do love crocheting them
because I get to use up

5
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:11,720
some beautiful purple yarn.

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,810
The eggplant is crocheted
in two separate pieces

7
00:00:13,810 --> 00:00:15,199
which we will sew together,

8
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:17,379
and we'll cover some
basic crochet techniques,

9
00:00:17,379 --> 00:00:20,390
such as working the
magic circle, slip stich,

10
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:23,289
single crochet, increasing and decreasing.

11
00:00:23,289 --> 00:00:25,609
For the eggplant, you'll
need about 50 yards

12
00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:27,280
of a purple worsted weight yarn,

13
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,050
and about 10 yards of a
green worsted weight yarn.

14
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:32,399
These are both Lion brand Vanna's Choice,

15
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,200
in purple and in fern.

16
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,420
You'll also need a small
amount of polyester stuffing,

17
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:42,240
a couple straight pins,
a G-hook and an H-hook,

18
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,840
a small wooden stick or a pencil
to help you with stuffing,

19
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,020
a small pair of scissors,
a tapestry needle,

20
00:00:49,020 --> 00:00:51,210
stitch markers or a small piece of yarn

21
00:00:51,210 --> 00:00:53,109
in a contrasting color, and don't forget

22
00:00:53,109 --> 00:00:54,609
to print out your PDF pattern.
