providing soft, handmade breast prosthetics, always free and always made with love.

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

Yarn is even better when shared! 🧶🩷 Gather your Knocker crew, split some skeins, and stitch up a little comfort for women healing after breast surgery. Every pair makes a difference! #HopeInEveryStitch #KnittedKnockers #knitting #crochetHere's a little secret about our October special: 12 skeins goes a long way. 😉
Buy 10 skeins of Ultra Pima, get 2 free, and split them with a friend, your knitting group, or your Tuesday-night crochet crew. Make an afternoon of it. Put the kettle on.
Knitted Knockers are quick to make, and making them together is even better. Every pair you finish is a gift to a woman who is healing.

🧶 Happy I Love Yarn Day! 💗Got plans? 🧶
There’s something special about yarn crafts. They give us a chance to slow down, relax, and create something with our own hands. But when that project is a Knitted Knocker, the joy goes both ways! The maker gets the satisfaction of creating with purpose, and a woman who has undergone a mastectomy receives a soft, handmade gift of comfort, care, and dignity. 🩷
So, what are your plans for I Love Yarn Day? We’ll be knitting and crocheting more knockers, of course! Every stitch helps us share a little more comfort and a lot of love.
🧶 Tell us in the comments: What’s your favorite yarn, and what are you making with it? ⬇️
