Kenya Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

A Kenya cross stitch pattern from our Tiny Little Countries collection: the black, red, and green of the flag with the Maasai shield and crossed spears at its heart, all worked into the country's outline with the name charted across. Four DMC colours, 890 stitches, small enough to finish in a weekend.

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.

Kenya's flag carries a Maasai shield and spears at its centre, a defence of freedom rendered in the black of the people, the red of the struggle, and the green of the land. It sits on the equator, runs from Indian Ocean coast to the Rift Valley, and produces the greatest distance runners the world has ever seen.
