Create to donate

This site has a range of patterns available for charitable uses. We love the range with 22 chemo caps, and preemie baby hats, but there’s also cute hearts and animals, and more patterns coming often.

Knitted Knockers

Knitted Knockers are lightweight breast forms used by those who have had a mastectomy due to breast cancer.

There are crochet patterns available, please use 100% wool and look for soft.
