A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A free crochet flamingo pattern for a plump, nesting amigurumi bird with a curved neck and a black-tipped beak. This pink flamingo plushie sits on its round belly in two shades of rosy pink, with small deeper pink wings dipped in black at the tips and shiny black eyes. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, stands about 12.6 cm (5 in) tall, and the head, neck, beak, wings and tail are made separately and sewn onto the body. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see how the neck curls and where every piece goes.

How to crochet the Pink Flamingo

Beginner-friendly · 13 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 6 pieces in rounds: Body, Head and neck, Beak, Wing ×2, Tail (73 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 5 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

  20. Size before assembly: about 7.6 cm at the widest, 6.5 cm long; 26 rounds.
  21. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  22. Press the piece flat to about 6.8 cm thick (oval cross-section).<!-- press the piece flat by 10 % --> Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  13. Size before assembly: about 4 cm at the widest, 8.3 cm long; 24 rounds.
  14. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Insert the safety nose/eyes now, while the piece is open (positions: see “Face”). Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 150° around round 7<!-- the bend spreads over 14 rounds --><!-- coil 2 -->. The piece rolls up into a spiral (about 0.4 turns) from round 7 to its tip: after stuffing, roll it up starting from the tip (round 1) toward the side that faces forward on the finished toy; the turns lie close, each wider than the last. From the tip to round 7 tack neighbouring turns together with 2–3 stitches of matching yarn every 3–4 rounds and hide the yarn inside.

  7. Size before assembly: about 2 cm at the widest, 2.6 cm long; 8 rounds.
  8. Change to palepink (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
  9. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 40° around round 5<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces down on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 5, on the centre bottom line). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 6 together (2 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 4 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

  8. Size before assembly: about 2.4 cm at the widest, 3.2 cm long; 10 rounds.
  9. Change to deeprose (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
  10. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly only and press it flat to about 1.1 cm thick.<!-- flattened 55 % -->

  6. Size before assembly: about 1.3 cm at the widest, 1.6 cm long; 5 rounds.
  7. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly only and press it flat to about 6 mm thick.<!-- flattened 50 % -->

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 10 mm (on the Head and neck): in round 9, 5 st apart (count along round 9: about 2.7 st each side of the centre front line).
  • Blush about 9 mm, dry pastel or blush (on the Head and neck, both sides): between rounds 11 and 12, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Colour palepink.
