The fourth toe goes at the back of the foot. This is a very cute flamingo and over all a good pattern. It would have been very helpful to have more assembly instructions or at least more pictures.
How tall is this
I have been crocheting for 40 years and found the pattern to be very well written. I really enjoyed watching my baby flamingo take shape. Thank you .
Love this! But where can I insert the eyes?
I wish I could find out where to place the eyes too.
I wish there was a video tutorial showing how to make the neck, this pattern is confusing.
Bonjour je ne comprend pas le dessin du cou. pouvez vous m’expliquer sil vous plait. .. merci beaucoup.
Can you provide details where you purchased the eyes? They really give her character!!

Hi, I love this pattern but I’m a little confused with the feet, specifically the toes. I see the first four rows makes a toe, and you need four. But I’m confusing how you would join the fourth to the first three. I see the three together would have the 14 stitches needed in row six, but I’m just lost when it comes to adding the fourth toe to the others. I would really appreciate some help with it. Thank you!
I too confused on toes. Please clearify
I really would LOOOOVE clarity on the feet. It’s the only thing stopping me from completing this flamingo.
Could you please help me with row 3 of the neck. Is it sc sc DC sc sc? If so that’s 5 stitches and I only have 4. Thanks.
I am a beginner crochet but I want to try it…..my daughter loves flamingos
What does row 2 of the neck diagram mean? Is it 2 increases?
Yes 🙂
No entiendo muy bien, la parte de las piernas, en la ronda 1-10 SC en la siguiente 6ª
Me podrías explicar que significa 6ª, ya que luego en las siguientes rondas comentas lo mismo pero con otros números
Saludos 😉
Que hermoso patrón, Muchas gracias por compartir, ya que me viene fenomenal para hacer en una subasta rosa contra el cáncer de mama, así que en cuanto lo tenga hecho ya lo publicaré en mi blog en el cual por supuesto mencionaré tu web
Besines mil 😘
I dont understand on the neck where you say crochet forward and backwards now. What does that mean???
It means to crochet in turning rows.
Someone help! I CANNOT figure out the feathers for the wings. The diagram is not making any sense to me, I dont even know how to start them. I’ve got the pink base done but I have no idea about the black.
Ahoj, práve som ho dokončila. Je krásny, vďaka za návod. Táňa
Hi again!!
Sorry for my previous confusion, I’ve found MY mistake. 🙂
Thanks anyway
Hi!!,
I’m confused on Rnd 6 of the beak: when you say: “2 hdc together”, does it mean 2 hdc in the next 2 st?
On the othe hand, the stitch count does not come out on rounds 6, 7….¿?¿?
Thanks!
Hi what do you mean by hsc?
Half single crochet = slip stitch
Hi, I am very confused on the neck and have no idea how to read the chart. PLEASE HELP
Hi there, Can you tell me what size you used for the eyes? Also did you only put pipe cleaner in the feet?
Thanks!!
Where do you place the 1st feather? I am unclear where it goes. Also, the 1st side of that feather has 15 stitches to do, but you start on the 3rd stitch?
I LOVE THIS CUTE FLAMINGO!!!! I’m having a little trouble with the feet though. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
Hi Emily, which trouble?
I’m having a problem with the neck. Do I chain 2 and then sl st it into a circle and crochet in rounds for 8 rows? Is anyone else having this problem? HELP!
Hi Emily, please crochet the neck in turning rows, don’t join to make a circle.
What a lovely Bird! I love to make this cute baby flamingo..thanks form the pattern
The feet are confusing! Anyone else have this problem?
Yes.
Yes. I am having trouble with the feet as well.
What hook size did you use?
Hi Dawn, you can use baby yarn and 2.0-2.5 mm crochet hook.
Which row did you place the eyes and how many stitches apart? I love your placement for them!
Is there a mistake on row 18 ofc the neck? The stitch count does not come out right. I get only 9 instead of 10 and I have two stitches left.
Hi Lori, yes, you’re right 🙂 Thank you very much for your note! I updated the pattern, please check it.
