This is a small project to help our friends out at the Octavia Appeal and the Royal Brompton Hospital.
We have been asked by the Octavia Appeal to help make some Knitted Knockers for the Breastfeeding and Expressing team at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
Babies born with heart conditions often find breastfeeding more difficult as they do not have the energy required for it. With so many newborn babies being transferred to the Brompton, it is vital that they help support mothers with this.
Knitted Knockers help the teams teach mothers how to express and also about latching.
So, can you help us?
The knitting pattern is here on our Woolly Hugs' site
The lovely Rubycon has tested it for us and says that it takes approximately 50g (one ball) of yarn plus a little bit for the nipple.
We're suggesting any DK wool that can be machine washed.
The hospital are happy to accept any colours of your choice.
We have a small amount of donor wool available.
PM Pistey if you need donor wool and we'll get some sent to you.
Please send your Knockers flat and Pistey will happily stuff them. 
We could do with a handful. 
As ever, many thanks. Bless you... and your knockers.
