Belarus Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

Belarus cross stitch pattern with the woven rushnyk band running down one side, the rest of the country filled in the flag's red and green, and the name charted across the middle. Four DMC colours, 38 x 33 stitches, small enough to finish in an evening.

Quick to stitch and easy to frame in a mini hoop. Full cross stitch throughout, with backstitch for the outline and lettering. No beads, no French knots, no fiddly details, so it's a relaxed make whether you're new to flag maps or adding another country to the Tiny Little Countries collection.

Belarus sits in the heart of Eastern Europe, landlocked between Poland and Russia, and its flag is one of very few in the world to carry a folk-textile pattern. The band down the side is a rushnyk, a woven motif from traditional Belarusian craft, the kind once stitched into ceremonial cloths. This little map puts that pattern back into thread. Browse every charted country on the Travel Cross Stitch Country Finder, or pick it up with its neighbours in the Slavic Eastern Europe Cross Stitch Pattern Bundle.
