About this pattern

The flag of Denmark flying from a flagpole: a red flag with a white cross whose upright arm sits nearer the pole, held out flat and square inside a dark brown outline. The pole is white with a round gold ball on top. Full crosses only. It is 44 by 61 stitches and uses four thread colors.

44 stitches wide by 61 high: 1,404 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Red 321, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 1 more).
