Finished size 18 inches full length, 12 inches sitting. Size may differ depending on yarn used and your tension, but there is no ‘right’ tension for this.

I love all things vintage and, to me, flamingos are the epitome of vintage.

Frankie was inspired by a painting that my (then aged 3 years old) niece did for me, and which still takes pride of place on my mantlepiece.
