Poppies to Knit for Remembrance Day

November 11, by Sarah White. 3 Comments

Knit poppy patternsNovember 11 is remembered as the day when hostilities ended in World War I, and in Great Britain the day is symbolized with poppies because of the red flowers that grew in Flanders, where many violent battles took place (memorialized in the poem “In Flanders Fields”).

Knitters have taken up the poppy as a symbol of remembrance as well, and there are several great patterns for poppies out there.

Katy Sparrow’s Remembrance Poppy has two rows of ruffles to make the petals and a center that’s knit separately and joined.

The Knit Flat, No-Sew Poppy by Suzanne Resaul is worked in garter stitch in short rows that form the petals.

The Knit Guru’s Poppy Flower Brooch uses individual petals worked in two colors that are sewn together to make the flower. This is a really quick one.

Woman’s Weekly has a four-petaled poppy that can be worked in either knit or crochet and includes a bit of green branch to make a knit corsage.

And In Flanders Fields, a design by Bebere, forms a circular shape accented with a button.

    As copyrighted and the best pattern I’ve seen for poppies:

    1) I would like permission to use Suanne Resaul’s Knit Flat poppy pattern, within a volunteer knitting group. The poppies would be sold for Remembrance Day. Proceeds will be donated to the Royal British Legion and the Firefighters Charity.

    2) I thought of extending the tails into a crotchet chain to make necklaces, if this would also be acceptable.

    3) Permission to knit purple poppies towards Animal Aid on behalf of war animals.

    I would appreciate your views regarding my requests.

    Regards

    Bernadette

    You’d have to ask her, but usually people are pretty good about letting others use their patterns for charitable purposes.

    I would like to use your pattern to make knitted royal blue brooches for Parkinson’s charity
