The act of making a poppet and giving it to Elizabeth foreshadows Abigail's malicious intent towards Elizabeth. By associating the poppet with Elizabeth, Abigail is indirectly framing her for witchcraft and setting the stage for Elizabeth's accusation of witchcraft later in the play.
The doll (poppet) she sewed in court, which Abigail had stuck a needle into to frame Elizabeth.
The needle in The Poppet represents voodoo, which, to the people of Salem is related directly to witchcraft and punishable by the court. Elizabeth is arrested for possessing the poppet for this reason.

Abigail Williams sets up Elizabeth Proctor's arrest. The fact that a poppet is in the Proctor's home gives credence to Abigail's claim that Elizabeth tried to "murder" Abigail.

Elizabeth gets arrested in the Crucible in Act two because Abigail runs into court with a needle stabbed into her stomach. She claims that Elizabeth's spirit did this, so they go such the proctors house for a poppet (rag doll), which represents Abigail. when they find the poppet there is a needle stuck in its stomach so that is enough evidence to get Elizabeth arrested. (that poppet was made by Mary Warren, their slave, and was given to Elizabeth the day before.
No, the only poppet she had was the one Mary gave her.
It looks like evidence that Elizabeth is a witch
she gives her a poppet, and Abigail secretly stuck a needle in the stomach of it.
Cheever is looking for a poppet because Abigail was "stabbed by Elizabeth's spirit." The poppet they find had a needle in the same place Abigail got stabbed. Mary had made the doll in court in front of Abigail, who saw the needle being placed. Coincidence? I think not.
It's important because it sets up Elizabeth, John proctor's wife. Abigail planted the needle, to "set-up" Elizabeth so she's accused and killed. But instead John Proctor dies at the end not Elizabeth Proctor
