These golden boobies were a joy to make and were to celebrate a year of breastfeeding, hence the golden colour. I've made so many of these for other people on request, to celebrate breastfeeding milestones from sapphire blue to diamond and they're really quick to make (all be it a little fiddly).
Of course you can make them in any colour and i've done some little skin tone ones too, as well as big plush sized ones (I have a separate pattern for that which I'll get on the blog if there's interest)

What I used
· Any colour DK Yarn, I used Stylecraft Gold and Camel which you can buy https://www.deramores.com/products/stylecraft-special-dk?variant=50359062087
· 3mm Crochet hook
· Small amount of stuffing or yarn scraps
· Stitch marker (optional) - I have these lightweight ones available here - https
· Scissors
· Needle for weaving in ends
· Keyring
You can either start with a magic circle or you can chain 4 and join. I prefer the magic circle as it can be pulled tighter.
As this is made by working in continuous rounds a stitch marker may be useful however as there are not many stitches per round, I find it easier to just count the stitches.
Round 4 is made using Back Loops Only (BLO)
MC – Magic Circle
SC – Single Crochet
BLO – Back Loops only
SL – Slip Stitch
Ch - Chain
Pattern
Magic circle
R1 - 6 SC into the MC
R2 - 2 SC in each stitch around (12)
R3 - *1SC, 2SC* repeat around to create 18 Stitches (18) If you want to make this into a keyring then chain 10 and reattach to the base of the chain to create a keyring loop.
R4 – SL to join, Ch1, SC in BLO (18). (this will turn your work upwards to form the top of the keyring)
R5 – Sc (18)
R6 - *SC, SC2TOG* Repeat around to create 12 stitches
R7 – sc 12
R8 – SC2TOG x6 (6)
Slip stitch into opposite side to bring closed.
Ch 6, cut yarn leaving a long tail for sewing and sew this chain in a spiral on to the boob to create the nipple. For a more pronounced nipple chain more, for a flat nipple chain less or just sew closed without the chain. Play around with the colours and don't forget to share on social media so I can see your awesome boobies! Tag me @Letscreateagift on instagram, tiktok or facebook.
