About 15 knitters contributed to the displays in Torquay, Devon.
An array of knitted poppy decorations have been placed in Torquay.
More than 4,000 poppies were knitted for a cascade placed in St Marychurch's yard, alongside postbox toppers and a knitted poppy horse. A total of 13 knitted wreaths were placed on war graves and almost 240 poppies lined the church pathways. About 15 knitters took part in the project, which Sandra Jackson described as "emotional to work on".The St Marychurch Torquay yarn fairies member said: "The fairies decided they wanted to do something really special to mark Armistice/Remembrance Day, so we started off by thinking about doing a cascade of poppies, and it took off from there.
"We have all worked very hard on this project for just over three months, a lot of time and dedication went into knitting over 5,000 poppies for all the displays."
