Knitted Knockers

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.

Request your free knitted knocker. We’ll mail it to you, no cost, no strings attached.

Knit or crochet comfort for a survivor. Free patterns, videos, and a caring community.

Offer free knitted knockers to your patients. We’ll help you get started.

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

Diane Crawley

Meet Diane — volunteer, survivor, proud wearer

For years, Diane Crawley of Russellville, Kentucky knit knockers for women she would never meet. Then a breast cancer diagnosis changed everything — and Diane found herself knitting a pair of bright pink knockers for her own journey. “I understood what it means to have these and be a proud wearer,” she says.
