Crocheted boobies/prostetics

I have seen many articles on the Internet with knitted and crocheted boobies - in other words breast prosthetics. There are many ladies in the world that have to have their breast(s) removed, but either they cannot afford a reconstructive surgery or they just do not want one. Breast prosthetics is one way to solve the boobie situation.

As a daughter of a mother who had mastectomy and later died from a cancer, I decided to make a video of crocheted boobie/prosthetic. This is one way to give my fellow crocheters a tool, which means a free pattern, so they can help their friends, family members, or any organization of their choice. 

See the free pattern further down below, OR if you would like to watch video instead, see 2 links just below:

First weave in all the tails of both pieces. Then crochet or sew both pieces together 3/4 way. Fill it with polyfill and finish crocheting or sewing it. Weave in your last tail(s).

If you would like to make a smaller "B" cup size - use DK yarn (#3 weight) - see smaller boobies in the image below.
