Iceland Poppy

Last Spring I created my first crochet pattern, a red field poppy. After almost a year of pattern making I decided to revamp my original poppy! This pattern uses a combination of worsted and dk weight yarns. You can use almost any fiber type to create these poppies. I used acrylic yarn in my finished designs. Cotton yarns produce a more stiff petal. Wool creates a fuzziness that makes the stamen of the flower look a bit more realistic.
