Knitted Poppies

As part of the ‘Thank You’ Campaign Cotgrave Town Council have asked the Cotgrave community to knit as many poppies as they can manage. There are 3 patterns which are available from Cotgrave Library, All Saints Church and the Post Office. Other outlets for patterns will open as the year develops. Exactly how the Poppies will be displayed is yet to be decided but what is needed now is for you all to start knitting, spread the word and recruit others knitters
