Knitted Knockers have become incredibly popular since they first began in 2015.
The Irish organisation helps to create a lightweight alternative to regular breast prosthesis. Volunteers knit or crochet them and donate them to breast cancer survivors.
Knitted Knockers started as a way to help those who have undergone a mastectomy by making them easily available to order online. Due to the success of the charity, there are now several locations that stock them nationwide.
