Used kfb for increases, even though they suggested not to do that in the video but, since these are for me and I find it the easiest way to increase, I did it that way. Seemed to come out okay but I will see how it looks in a bra and under clothes.
I like the way my clothes fit much better but need to find a way to widen the knocker to replace the area where my lymph nodes were taken & I now have an indent. To clarify, I need the boobie to be wider to cover more area but not be bigger in depth - I need coverage rather than increased cup depth. I will need to play with this and see what can be done.
9/13/15 PS: Bought my first bra since my first mastectomy 9 years ago. C-cup knocker is too big. I plan to frog back & make them B’s and not pack them too tightly.
12/24/15: Starting another pair with same yarn but in pink (blush). No nipple. Right side first (most radical mastectomy side). Used magic circle (crochet) cast on 7 sts, 2 for 2 sides & 3 sts for the bottom in hopes of getting it longer across the bottom.
10/21/16: I made another pair (pink, same yarn) using the stitch count for C-cup but did the first few rounds flat from “Drop Stitch Equiangular Polygon Cloth” (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/drop-stitch-equia...). This gave me the width to cover more of my modified radical surgery site but kept the cup size closer to a B. They fit well just slipped inside my sport bras but were too big to be easy to fit into the pockets of my other bras. I am going to give these to a friend of my sister-in-law & try another pair for me.
