Tennis balls in tube socks, a boob tube, over the shoulder boulders or knockers... You can call them by any name, except an ordinary scarf.
This was my entry to the boob contest that was held by the Oddball group on Ravelry.com.
Many of us have some version of these, the kind where you need to roll them up to fit them in.
If you don't... Taa Daa! Taa Taas!
These are great for "Over the Hill" parties, bachelor parties or for any occasion where an extra pair of tits would be good.
This is my first attempt at writing a pattern so please let me know if I have goofed things up.
What you will need:
- Less than 50 grams of any worsted weight yarn for the ends (Color A)
- 100 grams of any worsted weight yarn (Color B)
- 5 DPNs for knitting worsted weight yarn (DPNA) (I used #8)
- 5 DPNs one or two sizes bigger than the (DPNA), these would be (DPNB) (I used #10)
- Crochet hook or tapestry needle
- Two tennis balls (or other rounded weighted items for the ends)
- Stitch marker
