If you would like to make Knitted Knockers, here is some useful info -
From the knockers.org"}">Knitted Knockers.org website:
“Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for women who have had breast cancer and undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional breast prosthetics can be hot, heavy and sticky. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are adjustable, washable and can even be worn while swimming. Our special volunteer knitters provide these FREE to those requesting them”
Please visit the Knitted Knockers website, www.knittedknockers.org/"}">Knitted Knockers Homepage for all the information that you need.
This webpage is especially helpful for information on approved yarns and color information: www.knittedknockers.org/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2016/10/Knitted-Knockers-Approved-Yarns-10-3-23.pdf"}">Yarns and colors
Very Important: Please note that neutral colors are preferred. If you want, you can use bright colors on the bottom of your knocker, but the top of it needs to be in a neutral color.
Patterns: So many choices! Please go to this section to pick and download your (free) pattern: www.knittedknockers.org/make-a-knocker/"}">Knitted Knockers Patterns.
Hint: The Bottoms Up Knocker for Double Point Needles pattern works great with magic loop too…and has the easiest “start” to your knocker!
