Are you looking for some fabulous flamingos? An entire flock of them (a flamboyance, perhaps)? You’ve found it! A flock of flamingos hat! This hat has an entire flamboyance of flamingos hanging out in the water. Just for YOU!

This hat is worked seamlessly from the bottom up in the round. It features stranded colorwork, and it’s a great companion to the Flock of Flamingos cowl!

This pattern includes an OPTIONAL duplicate stitch chart (for adding beaks and eyes to your flamingos) and a video tutorial to help you work the duplicate stitches. In my photos, you will see that I have included some photos of the hat without duplicate stitch and some with duplicate stitch. You get to decide if the lemon is worth the squeeze!
