Base of the Breast:

- R13: Sc in each stitch around (39 stitches).
- R14: Dec until 6 stitches remain, then pull tight to close and fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Finishing:
- Stuff the breast firmly with the fiberfill.
- Using the long tail from the nipple, sew it securely to the top of the base. Make sure it is centered.
- Weave in all ends using a yarn needle.
- For added texture, you may create some texture lines on the areola by going back and forth with the pink yarn in a few stitches.
Blocking: Gently shape and ensure your stitches look even and tidy. Blocking is typically not necessary for stuffed toys, but if you want to make sure the shape is perfect, you can lightly steam it.
Optional Variations: You could make these breasts in various colors or add embellishments like hearts or other designs. They also make for good learning projects for beginners wanting to practice their amigurumi skills!
