Alongside the written instructions I’ve provided a detailed photo tutorial. Over 6 pages, I show you how to work a single poppy, or do a line of poppies as a crocheted no-sew edging to a blanket or other straight edge.

This pattern uses DK (light worsted) weight yarn and a 3.5mm hook, but the yarn weight and hook size really don’t matter.

Historical note: I donated the entire sale price of all Line of Poppies crochet patterns sold from when I first published it up until 11:11hrs (GMT) on 11 Nov 2012 to the Royal British Legion - thanks very much to all my customers!
