3D Poppy with bud and leaf

**3D Poppy with bud and leaf** Made with a total of about 12g of DMC Petra 5 crochet cotton & a 2.5mm hook: * flower head is about 3" across at widest point * bud is about 1.5" long * leaf is about 2.25" long * length of stem could be adjusted - designer's are about 9" long Other materials used: * florists wire (designer used 24 gauge) - about 50" in total: for a 9" main stem - 2 x 18", bud - 5", leaf - 9" * just a little stuffing for the bud You will also need wire cutters (or old scissors), yarn needle, stitch markers, scissors and a little tacky glue to secure yarn at end of wires. You could use florist's tape instead of wrapping the stems with yarn. Pattern includes detailed instructions and photos to help assemble the various parts. If making just the flower e.g. for a brooch or applique you won't need the wire etc. but might need a brooch pin. Please link back to this page if you post a project on Ravelry made using this pattern - or give me a mention if posting a picture elsewhere - I'd love to see your poppies!
