How to Crochet a Beautiful Poppy Flower

You’ll Need

Odds of grey, black, and red yarn;

Crochet hook (depends on the yarn).

Instructions

RND 1: Circle 8 chain stitches in a ring;

RND 2: 12 single crochets in half stitches;

RND 3: Single crochets in the same half stitches;

RND 4: 21 single crochets in the center of the flower;

RND 5: Turn your poppy and make 21 single crochets.

Take black yarn and draw the stitches from the center with the help of a crochet hook.

Insert the crochet hook before the last row of single crochets, draw, and crochet the stitch under the center of the flower.

Make 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, and 1 single crochet through the edge of the center.

Make the remaining 6 connecting strips of the poppy center in the same way.

Make 21 single crochets in the next row of your flower.

The next stage is to create 21 stamens of the poppy: 16 chain stitches and double crochets.

Then, create the petals of your flower.

Join the red yarn with a slip stitch from the wrong side.

Petal Formation

RND 1: 10 chain stitches, double crochets;

RND 2: Fasten the previous row with 12 single crochets;

RND 3 and RND 4: 14 single crochets;

RND 5 and RND 6: 16 single crochets;

RND 7-RND 9: 18 single crochets;

RND 10: Increase by 10 stitches (totalling 28 stitches);

RND 11: (single crochet, half-crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, double crochet, half-crochet, single crochet) x 4 times.

You can make a second layer of petals to give your poppy more relief.

Fasten the petals with a “shrimp stitch” using black yarn.
