About this pattern

The flag of Finland flying from a flagpole: a white flag with a blue cross whose upright arm stands nearer the pole, held out flat and square inside a dark brown outline. The white beyond the cross is twice as long as the white next to the pole, and the white above and below the cross is the same depth. The pole is white with a round gold ball on top. The flag and the pole are stitched in white, so they show best on a natural or colored fabric. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 53 stitches and uses four thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,120 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Royal Blue 797, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 1 more).
