Soft, comfortable, knit prosthetics for breast cancer survivors

Soft, comfortable, knit prosthetics for breast cancer survivors

Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures to the breast.

These soft comfortable lightweight prosthesis are available for FREE (request yours here). They are knit with love by our wonderful volunteers.

Some women find traditional breast prosthetics too expensive, heavy, sweaty and uncomfortable. Also traditional prosthesis often cannot be worn for weeks after surgery.

Knitted knockers on the other hand are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. Knitted knockers can also be used to fill the gap for breasts that are uneven and easily adapted for those going through reconstruction by simply removing some of the stuffing.

Some women prefer to weight their knocker with a pebble or a small stitch in bra to keep them in place.  The knitted knocker can also be used in your prosthetic bra or in a post-op camisole as a lightweight choice.

The purpose of this site is to help connect volunteer knitters with breast cancer survivors to offer FREE knitted knockers.

Patterns and video tutorials are available on this website. These were developed and shared by knittedknockers.org of the USA.

How You Can Help

Knit or Crochet

If you knit or crochet, we could use your help to keep up with increasing demands. You don’t need to be an expert, the patterns are pretty simple once you get the hang of them. And we have videos to help you learn.

Donate

Please consider making a financial donation. Postage alone costs over $1,000 per month to ship knockers across Canada. We greatly appreciate donations of any size. THANK YOU to all our supporters!

Spread the Word

We are always in need of volunteers across Canada to make Knitted Knockers. If you know anyone who knits or crochets, please help spread the word.
