I imagine one could crochet them as well.  Start with a little ring of
stitches for the width of the nipple, carry it down into a little tube
for the shank of the nipple, then increase into a circle for the areola,
with little textured stitches for Montgomery's glands.  Increase more
for the breast.

One can make nice even circular increases by using one more stitch
between each "two stitches in one stitch increase" every row. (In other
words, round 1: one crochet, then one increase, repeat around.  round 2:
crochet in each of next 2 stitches, increase, repeat around.  round 3:
crochet in each of next 3 stitches, increase, repeat, etc.
