Knitted ribbed poppies

 This pattern I had written down as Red poppy badge and I searched and found Lynn's easy knitted rib stitch pattern at 5000 poppies. I used 4mm needles and 52 stitches, with 6 rows of rib before decreasing. It turned out around 7.5cm across. I made a 2nd one with 58 stitches and 4x4 rib, 8 rows of knit 3 then (p4, k4 to end) then change to black and knit 1 then knit 2 together  across for 4 rows before breaking yarn and threading through stitches, mine measures around 8.5 cm across. 

To make a smaller one use 46 stitches, k3 (p2, k2 to end) for 6 rows. 

Use 30 stitches will make a bud.
