For a button pin, I've made these using 2ply cotton and a 1.75mm hook, resulting in a poppy that is 5cm diameter. Simple pattern with a great effect.

Can you use any worsted weight acrylic?

Yes! I double checked with The Cambridge Poppy Project and any Medium Weight / Worsted Weight acrylic yarn in red and black will be fine :)
