Crochet Aubergine Amigurumi Tutorial
Perfect for beginners and intermediates alike, this vegetable amigurumi tutorial combines essential techniques like single crochet, increases, and decreases to create a cute and realistic Aubergine.

- Introduction and Materials: The video begins with an overview of the materials needed to crochet a mini aubergine. It included gas and baby cotton yarn and a 1.6mm crochet hook. The project starts with a magic ring and six single crochets.
- Increases and Stitching: The aubergine shape is formed through rounds of increases. The second round involves six increases, while subsequent rounds alternate between increases and single crochets to expand the shape.
- Decreasing and Shaping: After reaching 24 stitches in the fourth round, four rounds of single crochets without changes follow.
The shape is then gradually decreased using single crochet and decrease stitches. - Adding Fiberfill and Finishing the Aubergine: After the main body is completed, fiberfill stuffing is added. The final round consists of six decreases to close the bottom, and the hole is closed using a needle.
