Poppy FlowerFREE PATTERN
There’s a certain sense of magic when you can start with a ball of yarn and just a few moments later find yourself holding a beautiful poppy flower…
Then of course you want to immediately cast on to make another! So it’s really good that each poppy uses so little yarn. In fact, you can make about 25 poppies from a single 100g ball. The poppies have a pretty, rounded shape with five petals and narrow supporting ribs to the inside. They are easy to work and feature a black button in the centre as a finishing touch. .
