Fabio Flamingo is approximately 42cm/16½in tall and 21cm/8½in from the front of his chest to the end of his body. He’s made using just yarn and toy stuffing so you don’t need any additional materials to create his long, graceful neck and elegant, curved beak. As Fabio is worked in a spiral, it’s a good idea to use a stitch marker at the start of every round – that way, you’ll avoid getting in a flap with your fabulous flamingo friend!

Can’t crochet? Well, good news because I also have a knitted flamingo, Felipe!

The boring bit…
This pattern is intended for personal use so it’s fine to print it out but please don’t sell it, share it on the internet or make multiple copies. What you can sell (more money for yarn – YAY!) is finished items made from this pattern so long as you’ve made them yourself and it’s not on a commercial basis. Please remember to credit me as the designer!
