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.
Which row did you place the eyes and how many stitches apart? I love your placement for them!
What hook size did you use?
Hi Dawn, you can use baby yarn and 2.0-2.5 mm crochet hook.
The feet are confusing! Anyone else have this problem?
Yes.
Yes. I am having trouble with the feet as well.
What a lovely Bird! I love to make this cute baby flamingo..thanks form the pattern
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.
I LOVE THIS CUTE FLAMINGO!!!! I’m having a little trouble with the feet though. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
Hi Emily, which trouble?
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?
Hi there, Can you tell me what size you used for the eyes? Also did you only put pipe cleaner in the feet?
Thanks!!
Hi, I am very confused on the neck and have no idea how to read the chart. PLEASE HELP
Hi what do you mean by hsc?
Half single crochet = slip stitch
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 again!!
Sorry for my previous confusion, I’ve found MY mistake. 🙂
Thanks anyway
Ahoj, práve som ho dokončila. Je krásny, vďaka za návod. Táňa
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.
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.
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 😘
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 😉
What does row 2 of the neck diagram mean? Is it 2 increases?
Yes 🙂
I am a beginner crochet but I want to try it…..my daughter loves flamingos
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.
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.
I’m also confused on how you come up with 14 stitches, how you join them but n a circle, & how to connect the 3joined toes to the 4th one. Help!
Can you provide details where you purchased the eyes? They really give her character!!

Bonjour je ne comprend pas le dessin du cou. pouvez vous m’expliquer sil vous plait. .. merci beaucoup.
I wish there was a video tutorial showing how to make the neck, this pattern is confusing.
I am having trouble with the neck also. I find this pattern very confusing. Is there written instructions instead of graphic. Feet also look confusing to me.
Same, I wish it would just be written out I don’t get the diagram I just need written instructions badly.
I figured it out here is my written instructions
Sc 3
Start in 2nd ch from hook Inc in next 2 st- ch 1 turn
Sc Inc Inc sc- ch1 turn
Inc sc in next 4 st Inc- ch1 turn
Sc sc sc Inc sc sc sc sc- ch1 turn
Sc in all 11 st
I hope that helps a little bit I also have a picture to show what the neck piece looks like when it is in a circle but I can’t figure out how to upload a pic
Love this! But where can I insert the eyes?
I wish I could find out where to place the eyes too.
I’m confused with row 3 And row 7 of the neck. What are the stitches supposed to be? PLEASE PLEASE help me.
I’m also confused on this. Have you figured it out?
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 .
How tall is this
I noticed some of the comments state the instructions to crochet the feet are unclear. I haven’t made this flamingo yet, but I think you have to make 4 toes, then take 3 of them and join them by using the diagram as a guide (you should have 14 sts after rnd 6. Continue with the pattern as you come to what you might call the heel of the foot. Hope this is helpful.
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.
My wings don’t look anything like the picture. I’m even using a Size 3.5 hook. My wings look like the loop of the number “9”, except with a really short stem.
What am I doing wrong?
I too am confused on joining the toes and making the feet. Could you provide another diagram with all 4 toes?
Tank you for all of the patterns!!! They are awesome!!!!
I love this pattern but am disappointed that there are so few assembly instructions to complete the pattern. I am using the photos to guess the assembly.
There’s an error in the feet pattern – rnd 7 should read “dec, sc in next 5 st, dec, sc in next 5 st [12]”. As written it doesn’t work.
Is it possible to download a PDF file of this beautiful baby flamingo pattern?
The toes are joined and three make the front. When you complete the rows you attach the fourth. I can’t share the pictures I took
Can you say where to place the eyes please. Row and spaces apart
