A charming little boob

Yarn: Worsted weight.
Small amount of dark yarn, small amount of paler yarn. Whichever color you want, I'm sure there are creatures somewhere with green and purple boobs! Gauge: Tight, tight, tight. Hook: I used a 2mm hook with my worsted weight yarn, which should give you an idea. I go way smaller than the recommended size, to avoid holes. Usually Ijust grab the smallest hook that will still grab the yarn without splitting it. You'll start by knitting the nipple and areola, so to begin, use the darker yarn. Start with a magic circle (the kind you use for amigurumi). 1. Ch1, sc 6 in circle. Join to first sc with slip stitch. 2. Ch1, work even. Join. (6 sts) 3. Ch1, increase in every stitch around. Join.(12 sts) 4. Ch1, \*Sc 1, increase in next stitch\* around. Join.18 sts) Change color here. There's no need to join the rounds anymore since there are no more color changes, so just work in a spiral (amigurumi style) for the rest. 5. $^{*}\mathrm{Sc}\,2$ , increase in next stitch\* around (24 sts) 6.\*Sc 3, increase in next stitch\* around (30 sts) Pull starting ring tight and weave in the ends you have so far. If the nipple doesn't come out much, push it as far out as you can from the inside, then sew a running stitch around the circumference of it and tighten it slightly. Guaranteed to stay perky. 7. Work even (30 sts) 8. Work even (30 sts) 9. Work even (30 sts) 10. Work even (guess what, still 30 sts :P) 11. \*Sc 3, sc2tog\* around (24 sts) 12. \*Sc 2, sc2tog\* around (18 sts) 13. \*Sc 1, sc2tog\* around (12 sts Stuff with small amount of fiberfill, or whatever else you have on hand (I don't recommend dust bunnies!) Chain (or braid) a cord of about $5{-}6^{\circ}$ for the loop. Tie a knot, insert crochet hook into work from the outside and pull lop through. Make sure knot is too large to slip through when pulled on. You want the knot to stay on the inside, holding on to your precious boob through all possible hardships. 14. Sc2tog 6 times (6 sts left) Cut yarn, fasten off pull through remaining stitches and weave in ends.
