Gabon Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

Gabon cross stitch pattern, three broad bands filling the country shape: green across the north, yellow through the middle for the equator that runs right across it, blue along the Atlantic coast below. The country name sits in backstitch on the yellow.

Four shades and just over nine hundred stitches, worked in solid horizontal blocks. The outlining does the shaping on a country with this much coastline, so allow a bit of time for it. Part of the Tiny Little Countries series.
