Remembrance Poppy, free pattern

My Thursday craft group is making poppies for the local RSL display for the 100th year anniversary of Gallipoli. This is the poppy I made, I made up the pattern and I'd like to share it here. I used a 4mm hook and 8 ply acrylic yarn in both black and red. We're handing in the poppies very soon so they can do up the display.
this poppy will go in a Remembrance display

    1. Hi, in round 3 "3. ch 2, 2 dc into same (3 dc into next) repeat to end, sl st into 2nd ch" 2 dc into same means into the same st as the ch 2 so into the sl st. 3 dc is into the next stitch, hope that helps!
