South Africa Cross Stitch Pattern: Mini Flag Map

A mini South Africa flag map cross stitch pattern: the distinctive Y-shaped flag laid across the country's southern-tip outline, with the green Y, red, blue, black, gold, and white all in place. Lesotho sits as a small unstitched space inside the country's eastern side, the way the real map looks. The name is stitched in above to the left.

Full cross stitch with backstitch outlining for the coastline and the flag's separating bands. Confident beginner upwards, with six colours making it one of the more varied palettes in the series.
