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

From a high schooler with a big dream to a 97-year-old still stitching with purpose — meet two women proving there's no age limit on giving back. 🧶💕
Student volunteer Lenna V recently delivered 30 handmade Knitted Knockers to Fox Chase Cancer Center, where they were received by Helen G, Director of Volunteer Services. Lenna is hoping to start a Knitted Knockers chapter in Philadelphia — and she's already off to an inspiring start!
Her visit held another special moment, too — she picked up a fresh batch of Knitted Knockers from longtime volunteer Virginia, who, at 97 years young is still knitting and giving back, one stitch at a time. 🧶
From a young woman just beginning her journey of service to a lifelong volunteer still going strong, Lenna and Virginia remind us what this community is really about.
Every stitch matters. Every volunteer matters. Together, we're putting comfort, confidence, and dignity into the hands of the women who need it most. 💕
Thank you, Lenna, Helen, and Virginia — for being part of this beautiful circle of giving.
💗 Are you in the Philadelphia area and want to help Lenna get her chapter off the ground? Comment below or send us a message — we'd love to connect you!

🎥 We’re excited to share this wonderful local news story featuring Knitted Knockers Augusta! 🩷
Watch as Aditi Mohan and her volunteers share how their community is bringing comfort and connection to women recovering from mastectomies.🩷 380+ Knitted Knockers—and counting! We’re so inspired by Aditi, who founded the Augusta, Georgia chapter of Knitted Knockers in 2023. She and her volunteers have now donated more than 380 Knitted Knockers to women recovering from mastectomies. 🧶💕
And the gift goes both ways. As Aditi shared, making a Knitted Knocker can bring just as much joy and purpose to the maker as it does comfort, dignity, and confidence to the woman receiving it.
A huge thank-you to Three Crows Fiber for supporting the group and bringing people together to knit and crochet for a beautiful cause.
One community. Hundreds of caring hands. Hope in every stitch. 🩷
