There have been plenty of knitted boob patterns over the last few years from knitted norks to help new mums to busty bits for Breast Cancer Care. All good causes and now there's another way to help by knitting some knockers.
The Knitting Experience Café, in Brunswick, Maine, are asking for knitted prosthetic breasts for mastectomy patients.
The fibre-based funbags are apparently lighter and more comfortable than silicone prosthetic breasts (which can cost up to $500). The fabric also breathes and prevents evil heat rash that some women wearing the silicone ones suffer.
You'll find all the info and patterns on the Knitted Knockers here. Both knit and crochet chi-chis are accepted.
I've almost run out of breast puns now so get stitching a pair of handmade hooters for a good cause.
It'll make for excellent conversation when someone on the bus/in your office/wherever asks what you're knitting.
