Hi there, sunny-day maker! We’re so glad to have you back for another fun project. Today’s creation brings a splash of tropical color — an elegant little flamingo balancing gracefully on one leg. Let’s get started!

How to Crochet an Amigurumi Flamingo: Step-by-Step Pattern

What You’ll Need

Materials

Pink yarn (body, neck, head, wings) — light pink and hot pink for two-tone effect, optional
Black yarn (beak tip, eyes)
Orange or yellow yarn (beak base)
Thin wire or pipe cleaner (for neck and legs support)
3.5mm crochet hook
Polyester fiberfill stuffing
Safety eyes (small size)
Yarn needle

Skill level: Intermediate (wire support makes this slightly more advanced)
Finished size: Approximately 6-7 inches tall

Step 1: Crochet the Body (Pink Yarn)

Round 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Round 2: inc in each st (12)
Round 3: sc, inc repeat (18)
Round 4: sc 2, inc repeat (24)
Round 5: sc 3, inc repeat (30)
Rounds 6-13: sc around (30) — 8 rounds even (this forms the rounded body)
Round 14: sc 3, dec repeat (24)
Round 15: sc 2, dec repeat (18)
Stuff firmly
Round 16: sc, dec repeat (12)
Round 17: dec around (6) — leave a small opening for the neck/head piece to attach later, or fasten off and sew the head separately

Step 2: Crochet the Neck and Head (Pink Yarn, Worked as One Piece)

The flamingo’s signature curved neck needs wire support for posability.

Round 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Rounds 2-14: sc around (6) — 13 rounds (this forms the long neck — adjust length as desired)
Round 15: inc around (12) — begin head shaping
Round 16: sc, inc repeat (18)
Rounds 17-19: sc around (18) — 3 rounds
Insert safety eyes around round 18, spaced 6-7 sts apart
Round 20: sc, dec repeat (12)
Round 21: dec around (6)
Before closing, insert a piece of wire or pipe cleaner through the entire neck piece, bending one end into a small loop to anchor inside the head
Stuff around the wire as you go for a smooth, posable neck
Fasten off, sew neck/head assembly to the top of the body, curving into an “S” shape

Step 3: Crochet the Beak (Black and Orange/Yellow Yarn)

With orange/yellow yarn: Round 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Round 2: sc around (6)
Switch to black for the tip:
Round 3: dec, sc 4 (5)
Round 4: sc around (5)
Flatten and sc closed
Sew to the front of the head, with the beak curving downward (this is characteristic of flamingos)

Step 4: Crochet the Wings (Pink Yarn, Make 2)

Ch 2, work a fan/teardrop shape in rows: 3 sc in 2nd ch from hook, inc each end every row for 3-4 rows (3→5→7→9 sts), then sc 1-2 rows even
Fasten off
Optional: add a few rows of hot pink or black yarn at the tips for a feather-tip detail
Sew to the sides of the body, angled slightly back

Step 5: Crochet the Legs (Pink or Orange Yarn, Make 2) — Wire-Supported

Round 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Rounds 2-14: sc around (6) — 13 rounds (long, thin legs)
Insert a piece of wire through each leg before stuffing, bending a small loop at the top end to anchor inside the body and a small “foot” bend at the bottom
Stuff lightly around the wire
Flatten the bottom of each leg slightly and sc closed to form a simple foot shape
Sew one leg securely into the bottom of the body (this will be the standing leg)
The second leg can be bent at the knee and tucked up against the body in the classic one-leg-balance pose, then tacked in place with a few stitches

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Weave in all loose ends
Gently bend the neck into a graceful curve and shape the standing leg for balance
Optional: add a few small black dots with embroidery thread for extra eye definition

Tips for the Perfect Amigurumi Flamingo

If working with wire feels tricky, you can skip it and simply make the neck and both legs shorter and thicker so the flamingo can stand stably without support — a cute “chibi” style alternative
Two-tone pink (lighter body, hot pink wing tips) adds a lovely realistic touch
This pattern pairs beautifully with a small crochet palm leaf or tropical flower accessory
