Instructions

  1. Small 116655 2f2017 07 18 082430 1a

    Please note that I am using UK crochet terms to make this poppy. Make a slip knot and chain 3. Then work 10tr into the first ch. Sl st into third chain to join. (10sts)

    3ch, 3tr into each tr from previous round. Sl st in third ch to join. (90sts)

  4. Small 116655 2f2017 07 18 082758 4a

    This is a tip rather than a another step. I like to buy fancy button for my poppies from China via Ebay. You can bulk buy quite fancy buttons very cheaply this way. You do have to plan ahead, the shipping from China can take up to a month or more. The buttons can be assorted sizes, but they do need to be black, but can also have a touch of sparkle.

  6. Small 116655 2f2017 07 18 083223 5a

    With the starting tail thread, sew on the button to the centre front of your poppy.

  7. Small 116655 2f2017 07 18 083315 6a

    Flip the poppy over and on the reverse with the tail left from finishing the crochet work; sew on a safety pin or broach pin. I like to sew mine just above the centre, so that when its worn it won't flop down when it's being worn.
