    Hi Monica, the pattern is designed to have a slight curl on the petal edges, my stitches tend to be loose, so if you're finding it curls too much you could maybe try a larger hook. Hope this helps.

    thank you so much for this pattern, I had a panic tonight when I realised my poppy was missing and I have Remembrance Sunday church parade with Guides tomorrow. Now I have a poppy thanks to your pattern
