Teddy Bear
Yes, you saw correctly! This is a bear, and his name is Aubergine. This is because his favourite colors are purple and green. Therefore, his parents Michel the Bear and Aba the Bear named their little son Aubergine. Aubergine loves to play with cars, like all boys. He has a favorite car, which he rolls around the room with a string. And of course, the bear loves to eat honey. Especially in winter, when the whole bear family gathers at the table for hot tea!
Meet Aubergine, a charming amigurumi bear with a personality as colorful as his purple and green wardrobe. This handcrafted teddy brings warmth and character to any collection.

How Crochet App Helped
Aubergine the Bear takes about 8 hours to complete, with separate pieces for body, head, arms, and legs. The app keeps your work organized so you can focus on getting those purple and green details just right.
Row Counter
This bear has multiple body parts, each with its own row sequence. Tap the counter as you finish each row on the body, then reset it when you start the head. No more guessing if you're on row 12 or 15 of the arms.
Yarn Warehouse
Aubergine needs purple, green, and brown yarn in specific amounts. Check your stash before starting to see if you have enough of each color. The warehouse tracks what you already own, so you only buy what's actually missing.
