Knitted Knockers

This is the first I have heard of these. Thank you for making them. I had a mastectomy last year & the prostheses
I received, even with insurance, still cost me a lot. And it is so heavy that I have been trying to make my own. These
look really great.

I so much appreciated these when I had my mastectomy. My prosthesis weighed at least five pounds My shoulder hurt after wearing it for one day. And you could take out a little fluff if needed and add if needed. Stewarts Caring Place had them for the women to choose from. Thanks so much for making these for women like me.

Thanks for all the kind comments. And it so nice to hear that some of you have been able to use these instead of those heavy prostheses. I think I heard that the national office send out 1000 of these per month!

What a great organization! I saw on their website that you can also crochet them if you don't know how to knit. They have a pretty extensive website with the patterns & videos, etc. on the site. Here's a link:
