Felipe measures approximately 30cm/12in from the tip of his beak to the end of his body and is around 26cm/10¼in tall when seated. He’s made using just yarn and toy stuffing so you don’t need any extra materials to create his graceful neck and curved beak. Felipe’s legs are deliberately left unstuffed so, although he can’t stand up, he can do all sorts of yoga poses… just like a real flamingo! (Possibly.)

Can’t knit? Well, good news because I also have a crocheted flamingo, Fabio!

All the pieces are knitted flat on straight needles and seamed afterwards so it’s a good idea to seam and stuff the pieces as you go along. Alternatively, with the exception of the head/neck and beak, every piece can be knitted in the round.

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!
