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

There’s no one way to become part of the Knitted Knockers community—and every story is special. From discovering us at a local yarn shop to simply wanting to help, our volunteers all have their own reason for getting involved.
What they have in common? They wanted to make a difference, one stitch at a time. 🫶🏻

Your Knocker, your fit — that's the magic. 🩷
Ever wonder how one Knitted Knocker fits so many different bodies?
The back is open with a drawstring, so you're in control. Too much stuffing? Take some out. Need more on one side (so common after a lumpectomy)? Just shift it over. Need to add weight? Add a few small glass stones, drapery weights, or even coins can work. Once it feels right, pull the drawstring snug and you're set — no polyfill peeking through, no fuss.
And if your body changes, or it just doesn't feel quite right one day? Open it back up and adjust again. That's the beauty of handmade — it moves with you.
Toss it in the wash, hang it to dry, and it holds its shape wear after wear. Comfort and confidence, made to last. 🧶✨
Made with love, one stitch at a time, for a body that deserves to feel like your own again. 🫶
