Although I'm an experienced crocheter, this is my first amigurumi project. The instructions were clear and easy enough for an absolute beginner to understand and follow. The video was segmented which made it convenient to find the particular parts of the pattern when I needed to. Again, slow and steady hand movements makes this tutorial great for first-crocheters too. I'm looking forward to my next amigurumi with this channel.
lovely pattern! i will be writing out the steps with shorthand, mainly for my reference but posting it if anyone else watching this likes having text available without scrubbing through the video. if you would rather i not post this, feel free to delete! Eggplant body: with purple yarn: round 1: magic ring, sc 6 (6) rd 2: inc x6 (12) rd 3: [sc, inc] x6 (18) rd 4 [sc x2, inc] x6 (24) rd 5 [sc x3, inc] x6 (30) rd 6 [sc x4, inc] x6 (36) rd 7 [sc x5, inc] x6 (42) rd 8 [sc x6, inc] x6 (48) rd 9-18: sc around (48) rd 19: [dec, sc] x3, sc around (45) rd 20-22: sc around (45) rd 23: [dec, sc] x3, sc around (42) rd 24-26: sc around (42) rd 27: [dec, sc] x3, sc around (39) rd 28-30: sc around (39) rd 31: [dec, sc] x3, sc around (36) rd 32-34: sc around (36) rd 35: [sc x4, dec] x6 (30) rd 36-38: sc around (30) rd 39: [sc x3, dec] x6 (24) rd 40-42: sc around (24) rd 43: [sc x2, dec] x6 (18) rd 44: sc around (18) stuff with fiberfill, add more stuffing every few rounds until last round rd 45: [sc, dec] x6 (12) rd 46: dec x6 (6) sl st, cut tail, pull yarn through. Eggplant leaf: with green yarn: round 1: magic ring, sc 6 (6) rd 2: inc around x6 (12) rd 3: [sc, inc] around x6 (18) rd 4-5 (2 rds): sc around (18) rd 6: [chain 5; starting in second chain from hook: sc, hdc, (dc x2), skip 2 st, sl st in 3rd stitch] x6 chain one, cut yarn leaving long tail, pull though. attach yarn ball to tail near starting ring with a knot. chain 5 on outside, work sc into chain starting in second chain from the hook. chain 1, cut tail, pull through inside, tie to knot at base. attach leaf to main body of eggplant with first long tail. one thing: i think you missed a stitch in your written instructions for round 6 of the leaf. you wrote only one double crochet stitch but it seems each section actually has two. i added that to my notes.
