About this pattern

The French flag, three upright bands of navy blue, white and red of equal width inside a dark brown edge, with a dark brown Eiffel Tower standing in the middle of the white band like a crest. The tower is a plain silhouette with a thin mast, a slim spire, spreading legs and a round arch between them. It is a souvenir design of Paris and France, not the plain national flag. Every square inside the edge is stitched. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 39 stitches and uses four thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 39 high: 2,301 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Red 321, Navy Blue 336, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
