This is the best poppy pattern I have found and looks just like the paper poppies. I sized it up to make a bigger poppy and the pattern is very forgiving if you lose concentration! I also knitted the last few rows in black rather than knitting it separately

Have used poppies to decorate simple black hat to wear in run-up to Remembrace Day . Looks lovely. May make a few more to give to local poppy sellers.
