    Thankyou so much for this pattern. My friend jokingly told me she needed a flaming ornament for her tree. She is going to be surprised when I give it to her.

    II noticed in the comments that many had trouble printing the pattern and you had to email it to them. I’ve had this problem and love patterns that have the Print Friendly button. When the button is not available, I use a link to do it myself as I often use the enlarge text size to a larger print size for my old eyes You can print, email or download a PDF with this link. (PS – It is also great for recipes, articles, etc. that you want to save. Works on all URLs except some that have the option of using it protected.) https://www.printfriendly.com/

    Thank you for the pattern, I’ve used it in my folk art shawl, flamingos and frills. Made it in a chunky wool as a centre motif.
    I’ll credit you with the pattern.

    What do you mean when you say “working under two loops”?

    Reply
    • GoldenLucyCrafts says

      02/02/2018 at 5:41 pm

      The stitches you crochet into the Chain can be done in several different ways – under one loop (or strand), under two loops or under back bar of the Chain. In this particular case it doesn’t matter how you do that, but when you work 6 HDC into one stitch, I instructed to work under two loops (or strands). When you do that, the hole in the middle of the Flamingo’s head will be smaller. The same for the Heart for the Flamingo’s body.
      How to work under two loops – first look at the Chain Stitch. The front looks like a series of “V”s. Insert the hook into the center of the V and under the back bar – you will have two loops on your hook.

      Hope this will help,
      Olena
