This pattern is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, which is October. This pattern is free to use, but do not copy or claim as your own, please.
You can make as many boobies from this pattern as you wish, but do not sell unless all proceeds will go to a breast cancer charity.
SOME INFO ON BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer, like all cancers, has no cure yet, but can be treated if caught early.
Men can get breast cancer too, but it is 100 times more frequent in women.
Breast cancer is second most common type of cancer after lung cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer death.
It is important to get yearly breast exams at a doctor's and perform self checks regularly.
I hope that anyone who makes/wears one of these hats will spread the word of breast cancer awareness to friends and loved ones.
NIPPLE
CH 2 with nipple color yarn
- 3 sc's in 2nd chain from hook, join with a slip stitch (3 scs)
- ch 1, 1 sc in each sc, join with a slip stitch (3 scs)
- ch 1, 2 sc's in each sc around, join with a slip stitch (6 scs)
- ch 1, 2 sc's in each sc around, join with a slip stitch (12 scs)
- ch 1, *1 sc in next st, 2 sc's in next st* repeat from * around (18 sc's)
INCREASES
NOTE: for baby sizes, do only the first 3 rows of increases.
attach skin color yarn when you join with a slip stitch and chain 3 with skin color. ch 3 counts as a double crochet here.
- 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in next st, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 2 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 3 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 4 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 5 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 6 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
WORK EVEN
- ch 3, skip same stitch as chain/join and work 1 dc in each stitch around, join with a slip stitch. repeat this for 3 more rows or as desired.
- work one row of single crochets in skin color (or pink) with decreases where needed if hat is too big.
OTHER IDEAS
you can make boobie pillows if you continue with decreases and stuff afterwords.
leave spaces open and make a teapot cozy.
