Aubergine (purple eggplant ) hat, with leaf, ladybug, and tendril...

I am mediterranean, and around here we call eggplants aubergines. I can see why the small white ones would be called eggplants, but not the aubergine ones..... I could be really difficult, and call it a patlixhan, which is Albanian for aubergine LMBO.

The pattern is based loosely on the tomato hat pattern, but i altered the calyx to be more like an aubergine's. The leaf and ladybug came from the book: "100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet"

I used Swish worsted weight yarn in Wisteria and Dublin. The ladybug is in sock weight yarn, Esseintial or Stroll? in red and black.
