Before you begin...
- Yarn choice: Go for bright, bold yellows and oranges to really capture the essence of the California poppy! I personally love using cotton yarn for flowers because it holds shape well and gives a crisp, clean look.
- Hand Dye Yarn: I chose to hand dye the yarn orange and green using Rit dye. Dye your crochet piece before assembly.
- Customization: Feel free to play around with the stem length or leaf designâthis pattern is super flexible! Make a bouquet or crochet just one poppy as a cute embellishment for bags, hats, or home decor.
- Skill level: This pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters, but adventurous beginners should totally give it a try too!
- Tip for travelers: If you're always on the go like me, this pattern is super portable. Just throw a few mini skeins of yarn and a hook in your bag, and youâve got a perfect little project for plane rides or chill evenings by the campfire. đâ¨
