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

#KnittedKnockers #KnittedKnockersCanarias #CanaryIslands #Volunteer #handmadewithlove #HopeInEveryStitch✨ La suavidad que tu piel merece: descubre el método Knitted Knockers
✨Después de una mastectomía, la piel suele estar muy sensible. Por eso, en Knitted Knockers Canarias no tejemos de cualquier manera. Seguimos un método oficial estricto utilizando únicamente algodón 100% natural, sin tratar y totalmente hipoalergénico. 🌿
Estas prótesis artesanales son increíblemente suaves, ligeras y transpirables, ideales para el día a día. Además, nos adaptamos completamente a ti: puedes solicitar tu prótesis exactamente según tu talla de sujetador, asegurando un ajuste perfecto y natural. 💖
🎁 ¿Cómo pedirlas? Las prótesis son 100% gratuitas. Solo te pedimos cubrir los gastos de envío, los cuales realizamos exclusivamente dentro de las Islas Canarias desde San Sebastián de La Gomera. 🏝️
👇 Pide la tuya hoy mismo 👇
