Just got my wonderful knockers.I LOVE THEM!!! They are sooo comfortable and I love the colors. Had a mastectomy in ’99 . again in 2012 on the rt. side. So these are wonderful. So very comfy. Could I have another pair in a C cup? Thank you so much, I do not knit, but I will try the crochet pattern, wish me luck!!
barbara, let me know if you get this, please.
barb let me know if you get this.
Am a two time breast cancer survivor. I have no evidence of disease! I had a double mastectomy in 2009. I had radiation to the right breast in 2001 and 2009. As a result I was not a candidate for reconstruction due to fragile ribs and tissue on the right side from so much radiation.
I have tried silicone prostheses, mastectomy bras, swimsuit prostheses, beaded prostheses, and foam. The silicone are hot, heavy, and uncomfortable. They are stored away at the top of my closest with Christmas decorations!
I have learned to buy flat chest friendly clothes, with some gathers in the chest, prints, camis, and sports bras. I found a body by Victoria wireless slightly padded bra that is comfortable. I buy a 36 A ( which is hard to find at VS!) and fill it with a little poly fiberfill when I need a little something. I am very comfortable with my flat chested body image but I do like to wear fitted tops and V necks sometime.
Thanks to my friend from Connecticut and her sister in law, a pair of peach small knitted knockers arrived in the mail for me in Jupiter Florida!
I took a little stuffing out and popped them into a VS bra. Soft, comfortable, and natural. I am going to attach a photo of me with my knockers in a T shirt! We Can Fix It! There are no words to express the depth of my gratitude. I love you!
Have just received mine today – it’s absolutely great and so comfortable. Please pass this website address to any lady you know who wears prosthetics, as she will really like these. Mine is so very comfortable. God Bless all who knit for and run Knitted Knockers!
They are wonderful! Believe it or not you even forget you are wearing one! They are the best.
I want to express my thanks for the knitted knockers. I met with DDDDD and received a bag, which I will share with women at the cancer care center at Skagit Valley Hospital.My prosthesis is so heavy this knitted knocker feels so much better, I just wish I knew about it 4 years ago.. I would like to make these available to women in the Skagit Valley and know of some knitters who would like to get started in knitting some. Can you please send me the pattern and directions.

Thought you’d like to know I’ve passed out all the knitted knickers you gave me. It’s really fun to meet the woman and give them such a wonderful gift. I expect you’ll be receiving a donation or two in the coming months. Your knitters are so creative and generous!!! On behalf of all the happy and grateful recipients, please thank them.
BBBBB shared this wonderful project she is involved in. Knitted Knockers are made to help women who are transitioning after a mastectomy and are waiting for reconstructive surgery, who can’t afford a prosthetic or women who are going through radiation. It warmed my heart to see the love that is hand-knitted into every one of these and all of them are donated without charge to the recipient… I was so impressed, XXXX. Thank you for sharing!!”
(Surgical Nurse) I can already say for sure that we could use some bigger ones, a bit more subdued, for the 70’s to 80’s age range of women; maybe pale pink, pale blue, off-white, or white. But for now, I will show the knockers to the women, and let them pick what they’d like. I’m going to put them in a really feminine bag, so even before they see them they will know they are special!
