Crazy about Knitting POPPY PATTERN
POPPY PATTERN
This pattern gives a full ribbed knitted poppy and is an easy pattern for
beginners.
Col A 1 ball red yarn (one ball will make a number of poppies)
Col B Small amount of black for centre of poppy or a button.
Body of Poppy
Using Col A Cast on 60 st
Row 1 –10 : K2 P2 (for a slightly smaller poppy do 8 rows of rib).
Row 11 : K tog across the row.
Row 12 : Sl 1 K2 tog psso ... repeat across the row.
Break off yarn with long tail and thread back through remaining stitches and
pull tight. Join edges.
Centre of Poppy
Using Col B Cast on 8 stitches and knit a square (approx 8-10 rows) of
stocking stitch. Cut yarn leaving a tail and thread through live stitches. The
purl side is the right side. Run a line of running stitch around the outside of
the knitted square and ease enough to pull the edges of the square into a
round and tuck under. (A black button sounds much easier to me – Bev)
Finishing
Stitch the centre tucked side down to body of poppy and overstitch with
black yarn, or alternatively use a black or green button as the centre of your
poppy.
