Pin the left (bent) leg close to the right leg. Make sure it’s in the desired position by looking at it from each side. Sew on the leg by stitching around it twice to make sure it’s firmly attached. Weave in the end.

Attach the head

Add more stuffing to the neck if necessary. Attach it to the front of the body in the upper half, close to the bauble’s cap.

Make sure it aligns with the legs and the tail feathers.

Sew 2 rounds around the neck to ensure it’s firmly attached. Weave in the end.

Attach the wings

Pin one of the wings in place.  First sew 2/3 of the top side on from where the “shoulder” towards the tip.

Then lift the wing and stitch through the body to the bottom side of the wing.

Sew along the bottom side of the wing, back towards the “shoulder” to where you started.

Weave in the end. Repeat with the other wing.

If you’re making your crochet flamingo as an exotic addition to your Christmas decorations, you might wanna make her a festive Santa hat.

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Flip the circle around.

Rd 1: Using red yarn join the other side of the chain in a sc, sc 11 more forming a complete round (12)

Rd 2: [Sc in next st, dec] repeat 4 times (8)

Rd 3 & 4 (2 rds): Sc in all 8 st(8)

Rd 5: Dec 3 times (leave the last 2 sts)

R 2: Ch 1, turn, sc in next 2 st

Now you can make this for a baby in your life! Turn it into a doll, or add the rattle for fun, and the hair serves as fun textures for little fingers to play with! Wow your friends with this fun baby shower gift!  

Materials:
Hook size D – 3.25mm
Worsted weight yarns in the colors of your choice. I used yarns on the thinner side, due to the size of the hook, so a 3 might be best, but 4 would work too.
Used here:
Tail – Fairy Tale Knits hand dyed yarn, Triton colorway (her variegated yarns are absolutely perfect for mermaid tails!) – approximately 12 yrds
Skin – Vanna’s Choice, Beige – approximately 15 yrds
Hair – Red Heart Soft, Coral – approximately 35 yrds
Small amounts of worsted weight yarn in black for the eyes.
1.5 inch rattle insert (their smaller sized rattle would also work, just use extra stuffing!)
Small amount of polyester fiberfill for stuffing
Tapestry needle

Terms and abbreviations to know:
Magic ring
rnd, rnds – round, rounds
ch, chs – chain, chains
st, sts – stitch, stitches
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
BLO – back loop only
inc – increase, 2 sc together into the same st
dec – decrease, connect 2 sts into 1 sts
hdc2tog – half double crochet 2 together, a decrease using hdc
​inv – invisible
invsc2tog  – invisible single crochet 2 together; this is essentially a decrease, but done in such a way as to make the continuous stitching smoother and the decrease not as noticeable

1. Insert hook into front loop only of next stitch, DO NOT yarn over.
2. Insert hook into front loop of second stitch.
3. Yarn over. Pull through 2 loops.
4. Yarn over and pull through last loop.​

Notes: This pattern begins at the bottom with the tail fin, working in rows, but switching to rnds after completing the fin. Chs do not count toward sts on the turns, and rnds are worked continuously, without joining. Arms and hair are made separately and sewn onto the body.

Do this all the way back to the center of the hair, following the unworked loops.
