This outfit is another unique inspiration as I’ve been seeing flamingo décor ever since we moved to Florida. I just love making it sweet and neutral for a newborn. This is a precious outfit for those portraits and fun pictures to capture a new little one.

• View this video to see how to work the Ldc in the round and also how to join. https://youtu.be/PU1bkO_5-lY
• For decreasing single crochet (sc2tog), I highly recommend the invisible decrease for a clean finished look: http://brianakdesigns.com/invisiblesinglecrochetdecrease/
