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

🩷 Sometimes, one small act of kindness shows you just how much a difference you can make.
For Patti, President of Knitted Knockers Support Foundation, delivering Knitted Knockers to a grateful recipient for the very first time was an unforgettable moment. 💗
It brought the mission to life in a deeply personal way. These aren't simply knitted or crocheted gifts. They're a source of comfort after breast surgery and a reminder to women that they are cared for.
Behind every Knocker is a volunteer who gives their time, skill, and love to someone they may never meet. 🧶
💕 Watch Patti share the experience that helped shape her connection to this mission.
To all our makers: thank you for the difference you make, one stitch at a time!
