A mini Qatar flag map cross stitch pattern: maroon and white in 3 DMC shades. A small finish for Doha expat memories or Qatari heritage.

A Qatar cross stitch pattern from our Tiny Little Countries collection: the peninsula's long outline filled with the flag's deep maroon and white, joined by the nine-point serrated edge that makes this flag one of a kind. Three DMC colours, 623 stitches.

A narrow, satisfying stitch for anyone whose story runs through Doha, whether that's years of expat life, family working abroad, or Qatari roots, and a leaving gift that says more than an airport souvenir ever could.
