About this pattern

The flag of Jamaica laid flat: a gold diagonal cross running from corner to corner, with a green triangle above it and below it and a black triangle at each side, inside one dark brown line. The flag is twice as long as it is tall, and it mirrors exactly left to right and top to bottom. The three flag threads are the nearest matches to its black, green and gold, an approximate match and not an exact one. Full crosses only. It is 62 by 32 stitches and uses four thread colors.

62 stitches wide by 32 high: 1,984 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Dark Lemon 444, Bright Green 700, Black 310 and 1 more).
