Knitted Knockers are hand knit or crochet breast prostheses for women who have undergone mastectomies or similar breast procedures. Soft and light, they are very comfortable to wear and can be placed in any regular bra. The knitted fabric breathes and prevents heat rash & discomfort.

Knitted Knockers are made by volunteer knitters and gifted to breast cancer survivors. We offer knit and crochet kits in either English or Afrikaans and in a range of 10 colours from light to dark.

    Description

    Knitted Knocker Kits have everything you need to make safe and comfortable to wear Knitted Knockers.

    A Knitted Knocker is a 100% cotton knitted/crochet prosthesis for breast cancer survivors who have had a mastectomy. We offer them FREE, as an alternative product to the silicon prosthesis. Knitted Knockers SA researched all the different groups around the world and their patterns and decided that the Australian knitting pattern would work best in South Africa since our conditions are so similar.

    Julie Weaver, who designed the knitted prosthesis to suit Australian women, especially those who are well endowed, kindly agreed to let Knitted Knockers SA use the pattern she designed which has a size range from A to G cup, we have added the larger sizes. Her pattern also has a built in “buttonhole” so that the filling can be removed for washing or changing.

    NOTE

    Knitted Knockers should only be knit/crocheted from the softest, pure, natural cotton that has been dyed without the use of harsh chemicals because other fibres can irritate the sensitive skin and scars.  100% merino wool filling breathes and so is comfortable to wear in any weather.

    It has been found that most crochet unfortunately causes irritation as the crochet fabric is not smooth enough. With this in mind, Stephanie Davies has designed a crochet knocker pattern that has no ridges, making it smooth and comfortable to wear, and we now have crochet kits available too.

    Once you have knit/crocheted the knockers, please label each one giving your name and the size you have made. There is also some space on the label in case you would like to send the recipient a personal message.

    Please  email knittedknockerssa@gmail.com or contact us on 083 268 5856  for an up to date list of where to send the Knitted Knockers you have made. You can also hand them in at your local CANSA office.
