This is a breast feeding prop to help breastfeeding consultants or peer supporters help mothers learn to breastfeed without need to manhandle boobs.

You want a firm material that will not be gappy and will with stand machine washing. If you hook loosely then you may want to reduce hook size to 3.25 or even 3mm. For me 3.5mm was perfect.

Any yarn is perfect for this so long as it’s DK weight.

This breast is made with the view to send to the charity flat, without making in two pieces. If you plan to stuff yourself ingnore the instructions about chains in rounds 27-28 and just decrease as normal. Stuff as you go along.
