Knitted Knockers

Our Mission

Connect volunteer knitters and crocheters with breast cancer survivors to offer free Knitted Knockers to any woman who wants them. There is a huge demand for Knitted Knockers that can’t be met by any one group but together we can do it! If someone in each area will set a goal of meeting the need in just their county it can happen!

Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for women who have had breast cancer and undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional breast prosthetics can be hot, heavy and sticky. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are adjustable, washable and can even be worn while swimming. Our special volunteer knitters provide these FREE to those requesting them.

Meet Mee, Making a difference throughout the world from New York City!

My journey with Knitted Knockers started as a birthday gift to myself in 2017.  As I looked for the yarn at my LYS in NYC, Knitty City, I learned the founder of Knitted Knockers had recently spoken there.  I felt this was Kismet.  In the beginning, I brought all the yarn and tools from Knitty City and gave them the knockers until April, 2018 when they asked to me stop delivering them knockers because they had too many.

Hearing this request totally shocked me and it was then I decided to ship them to the Bellingham office.  At this time I sent an email to learn what cup sizes were needed – Christel nicely responded A and B cups would be appreciated.  These were sent for the next 3 years until November 2021 when the need changed to D, E and F cups.  What a surprise it was to see my knocker count at 1,000 on 2/5/22 – 4-1/2 years since the starting date.

Lovely update about Fairfield stuffing: > "I recently ordered 20# box of Poly fil from Walmart because it was on sale. When I opened the bag and started filling knockers, I found that it was full of the strands that still needed combing out. I sent a message to Farifield and did not expect a response, but a Sheri King contacted me a couple times, and today she told me they are sending me a replacement box! I had told her I was a volunteer knitter with Knitted Knockers, and she said she had talked with Barb in the past about this occasional problem with the fiberfill. I remember a message from you Barb (maybe on Facebook?) about this problem and to notify Fairfield if we had that problem. I am impressed with their customer service, and thought you should know. 🙂

Yes. I had to send her about 10 photos--some of the stuffing and some of the information from the box. I also needed to let her know where I had ordered it.

I purchased a 10 lb box off Amazon in January. After using a third of the box. I noticed that there were many tiny fibers less than a half an inch. I reached out to them as well. Sherri replaced my box. I had thrown it out because the fibers were getting everywhere in my home. And I could only imagine how the recipient would have to deal with that. In the future she asked that I take a photo of all of the printed information about manufacturing on the outside of the box. So they could track where the problem came from
