UAE Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

A UAE cross stitch pattern from our Tiny Little Countries collection: the red, green, white, and black of the flag filling the Emirates' outline, with the name charted across. Four DMC colours, 44 x 36 stitches, small enough to finish in an evening.

Quick to stitch and easy to frame in a mini hoop or small frame. Full cross stitch throughout, with backstitch for the outline. No beads, no French knots, no fiddly details, so it's a relaxed make whether it's your first flag map or your fifteenth.
