So, my dear friend, are you
ready to start our small
adventure? I promise that the
process won't be boring at all,
on the contrary it will wake up
your imagination and make
you achieve a desirable result.
It is a kind of a quest when
you finish it you will be
surprised and willing to do it
again and again! :)
Well, my little friend, get all
the necessary materials, which
you should have already
prepared out of the bins , take
your place on your lovely sofa
and don't forget to make a
cup of aroma coffee or tea
and let’s begin.
The first part consists of
crocheting of all parts of the
toy. It is the main and the
easiest part. I only want to
wish you good luck and the
smoothest crochets. And
remember if you fail the first
time, don't get upset, you will
manage to do it, I promise.
Never give up. Everything I've
got today is the result of hard
work. And I'm sure you will do
it even better if you really
want it.

Don't stuff the wings.
REISE | PAGE 2
 Feathers:
When the wing is
ready, start to
crochet the feathers.
Begin from the top.
R13 (where we
crocheted BLO): we
will crochet around
with light pink color
yarn using remaining
front loops (hold top
of the detail towards
yourself and crochet
counterclockwise).
Join yarn into the first
front loop, make a
chain of 5, and
crochet on that chain:
sc into the 2nd ch
REISE | PAGE 2

from the hook, sc

next 3 ch. The first
feather is ready.
Make a slip stitch into the
next front loop of the R13.
Then make a slip stitch into
the next stitch again. Thus
we will always have a slip
stitch between the
feathers.
Finish whole round using
above pattern.
Crochet next round the
same way only with White
color.
We have 6 rounds totally,
so alternate the colors:
light pink – white – brown
– light pink – white –brown
When all feathers are ready
you can steam them with
the iron and straighten.
Thus they won’t curl up
and will look more esthetic.
 Legs:
Start working with White
yarn as for the baby booties
sole.
R1: make a chain of 12, dc
into the 4th ch from the
hook, dc in next 5 ch, dc inc
in next ch, tr inc in next ch, 6
tr into the last ch. Working
on other side of beginning
chain: tr inc, dc inc in next
ch, 6 dc, sl st.

R2: ch 3, dc inc, 6 dc, dc inc,

2 tr, 7 tr inc, 2 tr, dc inc, 6
dc, dc inc (39)
R3-5: ch 1, BLO 39 sc
Don’t make slip stitch in the
end of R5
R6: 6 sc, (1 sc, dec) * 9, 6 sc
(30)
Change yarn color to Pink.
R7: BLO 30 sc
R8: 9 sc, 9 dec, 9 sc (24)
R9: 6 sc, 6 dec, 6 sc (18)
R10: 3 sc, 6 dec, 3 sc (12)
Stuff the detail tight.
R11-40 (30 rounds): 12 sc
Fasten off, close the hole. I
didn't stuff the detail to the
top. Only bottom (shoe).
Crochet the straps to the front
loops of R7. Each strap is a
chain of 50. Make two for each
leg. Hide yarn tails. Tie them
around the legs, and make a
bow at the back.
 Crown:
Use Yellow cotton yarn for
crown. I used Yarn Art
Begonia and hook 1,5mm.
R1: 12 sc in MR, slip stitch.
R2-5 (4 rounds): ch 1, 12
sc, sl st in the end
Continue to crochet crown
top (peaks).
For the first peak ch 5.
Than crochet on the chain:
sl st, 1 sc, 2 dc.
Then we skip one stitch
and make a slip stitch ito
the next st, make a chain
of 5 ch for the next peak
and repeat pattern.
We should have 6 peaks
totally.
 There is a
soul in hand-
made things!
 Skirt:
Cut the tulle to even stripes (12x3 cm/4,7x1,18 in).
Take thin elastic, measure out how much you need
for skirt, sew or tie the ends together.
For convenience, put elastic on the jar. Attach
stripes to the elastic one by one until it is filled to the
end.
Hooray!!! You can jump and dance, as the
first the longest part is ready!
The most interesting things are ahead!
 Well, our flamingo is almost ready. The main thing is to
collect all your patience, concentrate on the process of
sewing all the details together and add your imagination to
achieve the best results! I’m sure they will exceed all your
expectations.
Assembly
Sew head to the body previously securing it with pins.
Sew details by taking loops of the body first, then
head, alternately.
When we have small hole left, stuff the area between
head and body tight enough, so our head don't hang
out. Then sew details to the end.
 In the center of the head sew the beak previously
securing it with pins. When there is a small hole left, stuff
it with fiber and finish sewing. Sew the beak securely, so
it keeps its shape well.
At the top of the head, on its side, sew the crown.
Sew the crown securely, so it keeps its shape well.
With the help of the pins define the places for eyes.
Sew the eyes with black sewing thread. You can
embroider eyelashes and eyebrows if you wish.
On the sides of the body we will sew the wings, also
previously securing them with pins. They should be
symmetric.
I sewed the legs symmetrically on the sides of the body (I
stuffed only the bottom part of the legs). But you can use
thread or button joint (it this case you should stuff legs to
the top). To do it you will need a cotton thread and two
buttons of a suitable size.

Put on the skirt and our ballerina Flo is ready!
 Art is
infectious,
spread it
around!
Well, my little friend, our little adventure has come to
the end.
I hope that you are
satisfied with the
result!
And you will come
back to get new
emotions.
