Have you heard of the Stratford Poppy Project?
It’s a beautiful community art initiative where volunteers crochet poppies to honour our veterans. For the past two years, these stunning poppies have graced the William Hutt Bridge in early November, creating a breathtaking tribute.
We've begun hosting workshops to help you get started on your own crocheted poppies. And we'll continue to provide a drop-off location for finished poppies. Here you will find poppy patterns, infos on kits, and links to instructional videos.
Here you will find patterns for both knitted and crocheted poppies -- so you can get started on your own.
Learn to create poppies by watching this instructional video.
Want to join us as a team of poppy-making crafters?
This program is designed for adults and teens interested in crocheting (all levels welcome). No need to register. You can also earn volunteer hours if you're a teen!
