Maldives Cross Stitch Pattern: Tiny Flag Map

A Maldives cross stitch pattern from our Tiny Little Countries collection: the atolls filled with the flag's red and green, trailing down the Indian Ocean like stepping stones. Three colours, 18 x 65 stitches.

These tiny island shapes are quick to finish, and the narrow shape looks striking in a tall frame or mounted vertically. Stitch it as a honeymoon keepsake, a travel memory, or a gift for someone dreaming of those islands.

The Maldives is the lowest, flattest country on earth, nearly 1,200 islands strung across 26 atolls, none of them more than a few metres above the sea. A honeymoon there earns a small keepsake, and this one takes an evening or two.
