Kuwait Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

<p>A Kuwait cross stitch pattern from our <a href="https://shop.lostincrossstitch.com/collections/tiny-little-countries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiny Little Countries collection</a>: the country's outline filled with the green, white, and red of the flag, the black trapezoid cutting in from the border, and the name stitched across. Four DMC colours, 915 stitches.</p>

<p>Kuwait's flag colours come from an old poem: white for its deeds, black for its battles, green for its pastures, red for the swords that defend them. Anyone who spent expat years in Kuwait City knows how a posting becomes a home, and this little chart makes a better leaving gift than anything from the airport.</p>

<p>Before oil, Kuwait lived from the sea: pearl divers and dhow builders whose boats traded from Basra to Zanzibar, and the dhow still sails on the national emblem. The Kuwait Towers, striped blue-green like the water they overlook, have been the city's landmark for nearly fifty years.</p>
