This is the pattern for a bending flamingo appliqué. I do have this pattern available for free on my website if you would prefer that option. The link is down below, but I’ve made it available for people to download as well for $1 on Ravelry.

There is also a video tutorial for the pattern available on my YouTube channel at Crochet Bending Flamingo Tutorial.

I’ve used 2 ply cotton and a 1mm crochet hook, but you can use different sizes depending on what you’re most comfortable with.

• Any thickness crochet cotton or yarn, I used Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat 2 ply crochet cotton colors (786) Fuchsia, (398) Colonial Rose, (222) Tulip, (254) Moon Rock and (110) Black.
• A crochet hook, I used a 1mm hook.
• A darning needle to weave in ends.
• Scissors.
• Black thread and needle to embroider on markings.
• A white bead if desired.
