Kiribati Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

Kiribati cross stitch pattern, the flag stretched along a diagonal chain of atolls: red and gold across the upper islands, blue and white through the lower ones, with a scatter of single-stitch islands below. Thirty-three islands, most of them barely above the waterline.

Five shades and under a hundred stitches, so it comes together quickly. The pale fabric between the islands is doing as much work as the stitching. Part of the Tiny Little Countries series.
