Costa Rica Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

A Costa Rica cross stitch pattern in mini flag map form, with the country shape filled in the five blue, white, and red horizontal bands, the gold-bordered emblem with its volcanic peaks between two oceans at the centre, and the name stitched inside. A small finish for stitchers planning an Arenal, Manuel Antonio, or Monteverde trip, anyone with Costa Rican roots, or building a Central American country wall in mini hoops. Browse the full Tiny Little Countries collection for more.

Full cross stitches with backstitch outlining the borders, the emblem detail, and the lettering. With 699 cross stitches and a 7-colour palette to capture the volcanic peaks and ocean inside the emblem, the design has real pura vida character. Small enough for a 4 inch hoop, finishable in an evening or two. There's something deeply satisfying about finishing a little project, framing it, and moving on to the next one.
