Crochet Poppy Pattern

Hello

I apologise for my absence over the last couple of weeks but I have experienced many problems regarding broadband … in that I didn’t have any, however, I am back and will play catch up over the coming days.

I have obviously missed Remembrance Day and I always donate to the Poppy Appeal and collect the metal badges every year.  However, this year I also decided to crochet a poppy to wear in the hope that it would be longer lasting than the paper alternative.

This is what I ended up with.

If you would like to have a go, this is my pattern.  I used a 3mm hook.

Anyway must go have much to catch up in Blog Land.

TTFN.
