A flamingo jumper knitting pattern for girls aged 1 to 9 years, with two fluffy applique flamingos sewn onto the front, their necks curved towards each other to form a heart shape. If you know a small girl who loves flamingos, this is the pattern you have been looking for.

There is no intarsia here. The flamingo bodies and wings are knitted in King Cole Truffle, a soft and fluffy yarn that gives them their distinctive texture. The jumper is worked bottom up in stocking stitch with a moss stitch border and pink stripe detail on the sleeves.

The shoulder opens with buttons, making it easy to get over little heads. The flamingo legs are worked as i-cord or crochet chain, so there is an option for everyone.

Designed by Jane Burns, with 18 years of experience creating exclusive baby and children’s knitting patterns.
