I had a double mastectomy 6 years ago and I picked up a set of knitted knockers from a basket in my doctor’s office. The only size they had was double DD and I wanted to be a C, so I pulled some of the stuffing out and it worked fine. Like many of you, I have a heavy prosthetic that I wear occasionally, but I prefer my knitted knockers! Today, I finally ordered a new pair in a size C! I happily made a donation to pay for them. Cheers!
It’s been several years now that I discovered this wonderful group that knits/crochets knitted knockers. I was fitted for regular prothesis after my bilateral mastectomy but only wore them once. They were very heavy and never stayed in place. The knitted knockers are so lightweight, and look very natural. They also come in different sizes. Thank you again to all the ladies who volunteer their time to make all of us feel comfortable and looking great in our clothes again.
I just received my knitted knockers yesterday, I love them so comfy and they work amazingly, thank you Kathleen for such a wonderful job.
I received my first pair of Aqua Knockers a few months ago and they are amazing! They were so beautifully wrapped which made them feel even more special. They were very kindly knitted by a lady called Claire. I had known about Knitted Knockers since my double mastectomy back in 2017 when my consultant mentioned them but I had not realised there was such a thing as Aqua Knockers. I am so happy with my Aqua Knockers I have just ordered two knitted knockers for every day use. Thank you so much! x
Words just cannot express my gratitude to Barbara the founder of KK. My heart is overflowed with joy, excitement of the purpose fulfillment in this venture. This prosthetics is perfect and divinely orchestrated. I just looooove this product passionately. It’s really real. God’s blessing and light continue to shine on Barbara and the volunteers. I would be delighted to be a volunteer!!! I am 100% inspired. Love โค๏ธ u all.

One year breast free.๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
We lost a child last year to health issues
Two weeks later I find out I have HER2- and HER2+ aggressive breast cancer
I could care less if I lived or died I was so depressed.
God had a plan for me . I prayed and prayed that He would please take me away
But my time on earth wasnโt done He had a purpose for me.
He showed me I was needed that spread His gospel and heal mentally and physically
I’m cancer free but had to get a double mastectomy.
Itโs hard sometimes looking at myself in the mirror
I felt ugly
Until knitted knockers help feel the emptiness ugly feeling I thought. Gave me back my pride and meaning to go on without my baby girl
We all struggle with some kind issue
But itโs up to us to choose to love ourselves like God loves us
He gave us His Son to die so we can be set free
Idk what you maybe going through
But know that you are chosen by The Father. We only have a short time on earth
Try to be the best you can be
So many people looks up to you for the fight you have been through and winning :
Donโt stop loving yourself and blessing others with your testimony
One day all our worries will be over
We will spend eternity with The Father
He is so proud of you
You are so important
Believe in yourself
Thank you knitted knockers for caring and loving people like me
You will truly be blessed
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2022 and had a double mastectomy in December. For various reasons I opted to not have reconstruction surgery but wasn’t sure what I was going to do. I really hadn’t heard good things about the silicone prosthetics and anything I found made out of fabric just looked horribly unnatural. One day I was googling to see what other options were and I came upon your website. I requested a pair in May 2023 and got them shortly after that. I LOVE them. They are so comfortable and look natural! I appreciate the work you are doing so much
My mother was a long term survivor of breast cancer. She died a few years ago in her late 90s. I wish we had knitted knockers for her. It wasnโt until after I retired 5 years ago that I decided to take up knitting again. I found your website and I started knitting knockers. I loved it your pattern is so easy to follow it was a blessing. I didnโt meet recipients of the knockers I made but I knew they we appreciated. Last year I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer myself and my thoughts were that I could make my own knockers in whatever size or color I wanted:)
I found a wonderful group of ladies in my town who get together to make items for local hospitals and nursing homes. They were so excited that I made knitted knockers because they didnโt have anyone in the group who made them. Soon the orders started coming in from the hospitals. It was a blessing.
Recently I developed arthritis in a finger which made knitting very painful. With that and the cancer treatments I thought I might take a break from knitting for awhile. God however had other ideas. I had one knocker that just need to be finished. So I took it with my to an appointment. Sitting in the waiting room next to me was a lady and her husband. They watched me for a while and finally asked me what I was doing. I gave them my knitted knocker spiel. They sat there while I finished the last knocker. Then the wife told me she had a mastectomy 3 months ago and would love a knitted knocker. The husband asked if he could buy one. I told him no they were not for sale. He said please I will pay you anything. I explained he couldnโt buy one but it would be my pleasure to give her one. It turns out the one I just finished was her size and matched her skin tone perfectly. I gave it to her and she ran to the bathroom. A few minutes late she came out head held high, chest out, with tears running down her face. Her husband grabbed my hand and said I must have been sent from God. Well God got his point across and I promised him no matter what I got I would keep on knitting. After all knitting knitter knockers is my blessing.

Honestly, I was skeptical, but gave them a try. I love them. They are one of the few that are big enough, but not too heavy. They fit in my sports bras and I don’t feel lopsided (I’m flat on one side). Love.
