Crochet Poppy Brooch Pattern – Free Links

Crochet Poppy Brooch Pattern – Free Links. A friend suggested I make a crochet poppy, never one to not accept a challenge, so I did!

Create this great little project to celebrate Remembrance Day on November 11th.

I had a look for different patterns to use, there’s loads out there!

These are a couple of free patterns I found but I prefer the more natural looking flowers, so I used the pattern for the poppy from the headband.  Link below:

I switched the yellow yarn for black (no yellow yarn in my bag of tricks!).

Process

Create your brooch from the poppy pattern link above.

It crocheted up quite quickly and I loved the leaf design.  The pattern was quite easy to follow too.

These could be turned into brooches, button holes, handbag and hair accessories or added to blankets, scarves, cushions …. endless ideas!

Next time I might try adding a black button or bead in the middle.

I hope you have enjoyed making your very own Poppy Crochet Brooch.  If you need any further guidance please contact me at Beejui Creations

Pink, grey & white granny square blanket with matching throw cushions

I made these for my 14yr old daughter, she is pleased with them …. I think!

The granny square is an easy project for someone new to crocheting.

There are lots of patterns for granny squares to follow on the internet, like this:

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Crochet-a-Granny-Square/

The blanket was made out of 42 squares, all individually joined at the end with a simple single crochet.

Throw Cushions

I made two different styles of throw cushions.

The one below was made like the granny square blanket, I just kept adding more rounds until it measured the same size of cushion insert.

The other one, picture below, was made using this pattern:

I am making another set of these because my other daughter now wants one but in different colours: white, grey and navy blue.  I will upload soon.

See you soon
