Notes

Flamingo hat/cardigan boy wanted his mum to have a flamingo hat too. I decided to combine my favorite flamingo motif from the Placido Flamingo socks with the crown from Straemsoond, which I knitted recently and adored. I really like the combination! Wish I had made the ribbing double-deep, but I was worried about running out of yarn.

As always, German twisted CO. Used duplicate stitch embroidery for the details of eyes and bills.
