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

Five years cancer-free, newly 56, and looking ahead to reconstruction next year—after knee replacements, of course! Nanci has so much to look forward to. 💗
She also remembers the uncertainty of finding something comfortable to wear after cancer treatment. Her oncologist told her about Knitted Knockers, but the professional prosthetics she tried first felt too big and heavy for her body. They weren’t comfortable, and she felt self-conscious in her clothes.
Then her Knitted Knockers arrived. 💌
“They were beautiful! I couldn’t wait to try them on!”
“Knitted Knockers have been a blessing. They have given me confidence to wear outfits without feeling self-conscious or disappointed because the tops don’t fit well. The soft yarn is awesome.”
Nanci shared the word wherever she went: “When I was wearing them regularly, I told so many people about them.”
She believes everyone affected by cancer should have access to a comfortable breast prosthesis—whether or not they have insurance coverage for professional options. She especially appreciates that Knitted Knockers are available to anyone and can be customized by size and color.
Customized to fit. Free. Made with love. That’s Knitted Knockers. 💗
