About this pattern

The national flag of Norway laid flat: a red field with a dark blue cross edged in white, set toward the pole side, inside one dark brown line. The proportions are the flag's own, 22 by 16 at two stitches to the unit, so every band is exact: the blue arms are four stitches wide and the white edges two. A piece for a card or a small frame. Full crosses only. It is 46 by 34 stitches and uses four thread colors.

46 stitches wide by 34 high: 1,564 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Red 321, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
