Mali Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

Mali cross stitch pattern, three vertical bands filling a broad squared-off country shape: green, yellow and red running left to right, the pan-African colours Mali took at independence in 1960. The country name is stitched into the yellow.

Four shades and just over a thousand stitches, worked in three solid columns. A straightforward chart with the outlining doing the shaping. Part of the Tiny Little Countries series.

Timbuktu sits at the top of the Niger's great bend, and its libraries held hundreds of thousands of manuscripts, some of them centuries old, on astronomy, law and medicine. The city was a centre of learning when it was one of the wealthiest places on earth.
