Lion Brand Yarn + Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Comfort in the Making

Stitch for a Cause

A stitch can be a small act of care. From October 14th to 31st, a percentage of sales from Coboo yarn and Coboo yarn kits on lionbrand.com will be donated to Knitted Knockers, a nonprofit that provides free, handmade breast prostheses to people who have had a mastectomy or other breast surgery.

Make a Little More Comfort

Choose a cozy blanket or an easy layer. These eight blanket and cardigan patterns offer more ways to make something thoughtful for yourself or someone you love.

Knitted Knockers: soft, comfortable, knit prosthetics for breast cancer survivors

Meet Knitted Knockers

Knitted Knockers is a nonprofit that provides free, handmade breast prostheses to people who have had a mastectomy or other breast surgery.

Volunteers knit and crochet soft, lightweight alternatives to traditional prostheses, giving recipients another choice for everyday comfort. We support their mission because we believe that the care makers put into every stitch can make a meaningful difference for someone else.

Want to make one? Coboo has been tested and approved by Knitted Knockers for their prosthesis patterns. Follow the organization’s current instructions and approved yarn guidance when making knockers for distribution.

The project ideas above are for personal making and gifting. For prostheses, use Knitted Knockers’ approved patterns.
