Flora and Fine are mother and daughter, two gaudy flamingos that let the sun shine on their belly all day long, search all lakes for food together, or just romp around on the beach. No matter how, they enjoy their life to the fullest.
No particularly difficult crochet skills are required, but a bit of patience, as there are a lot of small parts.
The flamingos are with a wire frame and are therefore absolutely not suitable for children or even toddlers
According to the instructions, the flamingos can be crocheted in both sizes. There are lots of pictures and explanations on 15 pages.

The instructions are the same for both flamingos.

I started to crochet about three years ago, when my little sister asked me:
I know you can knitt, could you croched me cat???
When I checked the internet, I thought, that could´t be that hard. So I tried and somehow managed to crochet a cat.
From that day on, I haven´t put my needles away any more.
