Today I will share with you the pattern of the pink flamingo crochet toy designed by Marina Palchevskaya. The unusual structure of the flamingo toy, which looks almost like a rag doll, really caught my attention. Although the toy is generally made with pink yarn, the legs and beak are crocheted with yellow yarn.
Pink Flamingo Crochet Pattern Step by Step
The designer used Alize Lanagold Fine yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook to make this knitted toy. The flamingo is crocheted in turning rows. This toy will be a great decoration for your home.

Head and Body
We start to crochet with the main color (pink) ATTENTION! in two strands. We knit in turning rows from bottom to top.
Round 0. Make 20 ch + 1 ch up;
Round 1. Make 20 sc into the resulting chain, starting in the second loop from the hook;
Round 2-14. Crochet in turning rows, 20 sc in each row. This is our little body. Now we shape the flamingo’s neck.
Round 15. 6 sc;
We turn crocheting;
Round 16. 6 sc;
Continue with turning rows;
Round 17-24. 6 sc.
Now we will form the bird’s face. To do this, we make additional 4 ch.
Round 25.3 sc in a chain of ch, starting in the second loop from the hook,
then along the main crochet another 6 sc;
Round 26-32. Crochet in turning rows of 9 sc in each row. Cut the yarn
We make the second part in the same way. Sew both parts with slst with the main color yarn (in one yarn). As we connect, we stuff the bird with holofiber.
The bird’s body is ready. Now we need to knit the beak. To do this, we collect 18 sc right on the muzzle in front, starting from the very bottom of the muzzle, in a circle.
BEAK:
Start with yellow yarn in one.
Round 1. 18 sc;
Round 2-4. 18 sc;
Round 5. ( 1 sc, dec)*6 (12);
Round 6. 12 sc;
Round 7. (1 sc, dec)*4 (8)
Change the yarn to black.
Round 8. 8 sc;
Round 9. 4 dec (4).
WING (2 times):
Crochet in the same color as the body of the flamingo, only in one yarn.
Round 1. 6 sc in MR (6);
Round 2. 6 inc (12);
Round 3. (1 sc, inc)*6 (18);
Round 4-9. 18 sc.
Fold in half, connect with slst. Now we will make the feathers black.
We attach black yarn to the edge of the wing. We do 6 ch; 5 sc second from hook ch; slst.
Repeat 7 more times. You should get such feathers.
LEGS:
Crochet in the same color as the beak (yellow).
We assemble the leg, as well as the beak, directly on the bird’s body. Approximately in the middle of the lower part.
Round 1.15 sc in a circle;
Round 2-20. 15 sc.
Stuff the leg, fold it in half, close the hole with slst.
We put the second leg on the first one. Also in a circle.
Round 1. 15 sc;
Round 2-18. 15 sc.
Stuff loosely. Fold. Sew the lower part to the first leg.
You can sew all the leg parts separately, then sew them on.
