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.

Fantastic Zoom meeting with the Saaisha India Knitted Knockers group. Amazing the work they are accomplishing for the women of India. Its inspiring the bond we have with women worldwide united around a common cause of bringing comfort and dignity to women. A little early in the morning for this west coast USA participant though, 12 1/2 hrs difference in time zones!
Having my double mastectomy June 3. Knowing I have my knockers ready and waiting for me makes me feel a little better about the whole thing.
They are wonderful - thanks to all the knitters who are so kind to spend their time making them
You’ll love your Knockers or, as one of my friends calls them — explants! A lot safer than more surgery.
👏👏
