About this pattern

The outline of Germany filled with the German flag in three level bands: black across the north, red across the middle and gold across the south. The neck that runs up toward Denmark, the notch of the bay on the north coast, the stepped eastern border and the uneven southern edge are drawn as one dark brown outline a single stitch wide. There are no place names, no cities and no islands. Full crosses only. It is 48 by 63 stitches and uses four thread colors.

48 stitches wide by 63 high: 2,158 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Red 321, Black 310, Medium Light Topaz 725 and 1 more).
