FINISHING

With Rememberance Sunday a week away and having to get a poppy very soon I thought that it would be nice to have one crocheted so you can use it the following years.I do want to say that if you do this for Memorial Day please remeber that it is a charity and still needs donations so please put in whatever you would have if you had been buying one.I have tested this pattern, but if there are any errors or questions please ask in the comments below or e-mail me at: gracey2887 [at] googlemail [dot] comPlease feel free to do what ever you want with the end product, even sell it if you wish, but please do not sell this pattern. You can print it out for personal use. Copyright 2009 Craftylion ©.Beginner: About 2.5 inches diameter, but depends upon yarn and hook.
