Free Royal British Legion Poppy Pattern

The Royal British Legion are inviting crafters across the UK to get involved in Poppy Crafting 2026 — and they're sending out a free knitting or crochet poppy pattern to help you get started. Last year, over 9,000 crafters picked up their needles and hooks to make handmade poppies in the lead-up to Remembrance, and this year's campaign is now open.

You can choose between a postal pack (the pattern arrives by post) or an email pack (delivered straight to your inbox). If your finished poppies are ready by mid-October, you can send them in and they could be included in the London Poppy Day remembrance displays — a lovely way to take part. The campaign runs through to Remembrance Day on 11th November 2026. Press our pink button below to head to the registration page and sign up for your free pattern pack.
