Keychain Pink flamingo
Introducing our delightful knitted toy pattern, perfect for adventurous knitter enthusiasts! This charming finished toy stands approximately 9.5 inches (24 cm) tall, making it an ideal companion for children and collectors alike. Notably, the design features movable wings and a head, adding an extra layer of fun and interactivity.
The unique round knitting technique used in this pattern is designed for Advanced Beginner Knitters, offering a satisfying challenge for those looking to enhance their crafting skills. Not only will you create a delightful toy, but you'll also gain valuable experience in manipulating stitch patterns and creating movable parts.
To bring this adorable knitted toy to life, you'll need the following materials:
- Four double-pointed needles in a size suitable for your chosen yarn weight. For optimal results, I recommend using needles one to two sizes smaller than the yarn calls for to ensure a firm and sturdy fabric. My preference is for needles sized 2.5 mm (US size 2).
- Pink acrylic yarn: Robin Bonny Babe 4 ply (390 meters / 100 grams).
- Black acrylic yarn: Robin Bonny Babe 4 ply (390 meters / 100 grams).
- Toy stuffing to give your creation an inviting plush texture.
- Plastic safety eyes to bring your toy to life with a friendly gaze.
- A yarn needle for easy sewing and finishing touches.
- Wire (diameter 1.5-2mm, length 32 cm) to support the movable features of your toy.
- A stitch holder for keeping your live stitches secure.
- A keychain blank to turn your toy into a delightful accessory.
