About this pattern

A heart filled with the flag of Jamaica: a gold diagonal cross runs across the heart, with green above it and below it and black at each side, inside one dark brown line. The heart mirrors exactly left to right. The three flag threads are the nearest matches to the flag's black, green and gold, an approximate match and not an exact one. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 45 stitches and uses four thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 45 high: 1,440 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Bright Green 700, Dark Lemon 444, Black 310 and 1 more).
