About this pattern

The flag of Denmark as a heart: a red heart with the flag's white cross laid across it from rim to rim. The upright arm of the cross stands left of the middle, as on the flag, and the level arm runs straight across; both arms are five stitches wide. The heart has two equal lobes, a V notch and a point on one center line, so its shape mirrors left to right and only the cross is off center. Two flat colors and no lettering. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 41 stitches and uses three thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 41 high: 1,198 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Red 321, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938).
