About this pattern

A wall banner in the five stripes of the lesbian pride flag, hanging from a brown wooden rod on a loop of dark cord. From the top the stripes are dark orange, light orange, white, pink and dark rose, each seven rows deep, and the bottom edge is cut into a swallowtail with a notch in the middle. It is stitched solid, the white stripe too, inside a dark brown outline. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 47 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 47 high: 1,086 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Burnt Orange 900, Light Plum 3607 and 4 more).
