"Poppies are definitely my favorite flower. Icelandic poppies are so uniquely beautiful! I love how delicate their pastel petals look. The pattern includes instructions for making a large and small 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."
