China Cross Stitch Pattern: Mini Flag Map

China cross stitch in the red and gold of the national flag, the five stars gathered in the upper hoist and the whole flag worked into the country's broad outline with the name charted across. Four DMC colours, 43 x 32 stitches, small enough to finish in an evening.

Quick to stitch and easy to frame in a mini hoop. Full cross stitch throughout, with backstitch for the outline and lettering. No beads, no French knots, no fiddly details, so it's a relaxed make whether you're new to flag maps or adding another country to the Tiny Little Countries collection.
