Our Mission
Connect volunteer knitters and crocheters with breast cancer survivors to offer free Knitted Knockers to any woman who wants them. There is a huge demand for Knitted Knockers that can’t be met by any one group but together we can do it! If someone in each area will set a goal of meeting the need in just their county it can happen!
Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures to the breast. Traditional breast prosthetics are usually expensive, heavy, sweaty and uncomfortable. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers on the other hand are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. Our special volunteer knitters provide these FREE to those requesting them.

Meet Knitted Knockers Wichita Kansas!
Knitted Knockers in Wichita started in April 2017. Pictured is Tina Heston who started with us 2 yrs ago and now supplies clinics in KC. Next is Kathy Chaney and Carla Williams who have been with me from day one. Then Beverly Kirk my sister who nominated us for a $500 award which kept us in yarn for a year. She helps stuff them. Then me Sharon Williams. I’m a 2x breast cancer survivor. When I was diagnosed I discovered knitted knockers but there wasn’t a group near me so I started this group. We supply 8 clinics here in Wichita. We also have Laurie Marceau and Diana Fowler who were unable to be with us for the photo.
So wonderful going strong after all these years! Supplying knockers for the women of Kansas. You are rock stars supporting 8 medical clinics!!!!

What a fun time meeting with Oracle Volunteers. This awesome organization provides 40 hours of volunteer time to their employees to do good work and these wonderful employees have chosen to donate time to knitted knockers for the second year in a row! Thank you Oracle and thank you amazing volunteers! Does your company provide volunteer time or match donations? We are set up to accommodate a number of different ways to help us in our mission to provide comfort and dignity to women who have had a mastectomy. knittedknockers.org.

For breast cancer survivors who do not have reconstructive surgery, there is the constant issue of obtaining and replacing their breast prosthesis every year or two.Would be interested in any groups in Ontario Canada. More specifically Peterborough or Toronto
Thanks for everything you do.
I love Knitted Knockers! Wonderful international charity ❤️💕💕❤️
Lovely article.
I love mine. I recently had to get a new pair and appreciated the simple order form, the cute bag they came in, and the fact they arrived very quickly. 💜
