Comfort, confidence, and dignity — one stitch at a time.
Knitted Knockers connects volunteer knitters and crocheters with breast cancer survivors —
providing soft, handmade breast prosthetics, always free and always made with love.

Our Mission
We believe every woman deserves access to this simple gift of comfort and dignity. The need is greater than any one group can meet alone — but when individuals and communities each care for the survivors in their own counties, together we can reach every woman who needs us.
What is a knitted knocker?
A knitted knocker is a soft, handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional silicone prosthetics can be hot, heavy, and sticky — and many can’t be worn until weeks after surgery.
Knitted knockers are different. Placed in a regular bra, they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They’re lightweight, adjustable, washable — they can even go swimming with you. Each one is handmade with love by a volunteer knitter or crocheter, and every knocker is completely free to any woman who needs one.
A caring community, around the world

💗 Meet Aditi Mohan, our Youth Director! 🧶
Aditi’s Knitted Knockers journey began as a high school student during the pandemic. She reached out to our founder, Barbara Demorest, with an idea to start a Knitted Knockers club at her school. One email led to another—and Aditi soon became our Youth Director!
Today, she’s a medical student at the Medical College of Georgia and continues to inspire young people to turn their love of knitting and crochet into meaningful service.
Her first Knitted Knocker? Let’s just say it looked more like a sock! 😂 But she kept trying, mastered the pattern, and even created a tutorial to help other beginners.
Aditi says Knitted Knockers have taught her “the healing power that empathy can have, especially to those that need it most.” She also loves that crocheting can be a way to “fill your own cup” while providing comfort, dignity, and kindness to breast cancer survivors.
And her message to other young people is clear: you can make a difference, too!
🎓 Is your school, college, or university ready to start a Youth for Knitted Knockers chapter? We'd love to help you get started!
